Although waking up at 5 am on Friday, it didn't stop me from my normal 8 hours of work, followed by a 10 hour drive (okay really a 9 hour drive but I stopped for a 1 hour sleep). But it did mean I arrived in beautiful vineyard region of Martinborough just as dawn broke Saturday morning.
Wife and I were visiting our daughter.
While I might occasionally appear a bit girly (like wearing pretty yoga tights while relaxing with wife and daughter), I'm also the only person (man or woman) who can walk her dogs. Not only am I tough enough for her dogs, I actually had fun walking them.
During our stay, I managed to knock off 1 of my light house visits - it's an excuse I use to force wife and I out on road trips. I think there's about 13 scattered around the country.
Cape Palliser also has a fishing village and a seal colony near by.
But your probably not here to read how cool my weekend was, but to see photos of my outing today.
So I wore the dress the same daughter as above, gifted me, foundation, mascara and lip stick and I was out the house - twice.
First I had to drop second oldest daughter off at her work, then return, pick up the youngest daughter and take her to school - only then did I have time for a coffee stop.
Wife was still at home, waiting for a council man to visit and inspect our building works. I didn't want to be there as we had approved, engineered solution which he ignored and forced us to go 200% over budget. The inspection failed as there wasn't any silicon around the shower - basically I don't like silicon as it gets moldy very quickly, but a breathable junctions between the tiles and glass walls dries easily.
Anyway - shopping more fun than fighting.
I tried a lot of stuff on over the next few hours but nothing gave me the WOW feeling, so I'm still in the same clothes
One thing on my agenda soon is a 4 day mountain hike and my old boots looks like they are about to fall apart so while at Sylvia Park, I decided to check the boots at MacPac. I ended up buying this pair and signed up for their members discount as I still need a few things like water bladder, socks, food etc. Signing up also means I don't have to keep receipts if the boots fall apart.
