90 minutes

My wife signed me up for a Landscape Design seminar this evening.
I got home and had 2 hours before it started, so without due regard to my 36 hours worth of chin stubble, I threw on some foundation, mascara, lipstick, clothes (of course) and raced out the door.

The venue for the seminar was 30 minutes away and I decided to hit one of the shopping malls on the way for a coffee break only to find out my favorite cafe was already shut.

So you observant followers may have noticed I'm wearing my Paris top, the same one my wife bought me several years ago as a souvenir while we were in Paris. It's a thin top and appropriate for such a lovely warm day in Auckland - no, I still haven't gotten around to shaving my legs, so please don't go thinking I've woolly stockings or anything.

Anyway, I decided to stop at "Bird on a wire" cafe only to find at 4.15 they had also shut, I believe they have a late night, just not tonight.
Bird on a Wire is located inside a garden center, hence the flowers in the back ground

I finally arrive at the venue in Parnell, but with still an hour to kill, decided to have a drink at a pub behind the venue.

 

It was a lovely relaxing drink.
Then the wife rings up, tells me she's arrived early and parked outside a pub and doesn't know how to work the parking machines.
Being the gentleman, I walked past her car, tapped it on the bonnet and indicated I needed 2 minutes for a car change, before helping her.
Back in male mode and we still had 30 minutes to spare so we went back into the pub, had a great meal and some wine. She again complimented me on my shorter hair although she prefers me in BOY mode.
After a quick dinner we meandered across the road to the Landscape design seminar.

Earlier in the day, I bought a new pack of underwear and once home I showed my lovely wife who immediately burst out laughing,
What !!!
She points to the waist band declaring "Alpha Male"
