Douglas and I went out this evening with a lovely friend I met whilst travelling to work on the tram. Dovina is a short bubbly lady originally from the Phillipines. She is a bit like the Duracell Bunny.. full of energy, bounce and enthusiasm, and we hit it off first time we started chatting on the tram stop.
I dont see her much on the tram any more as a work colleage gives me a lift in, so it was great to catch up, and have a moan about our days.
Douglas also had a fair bit of moaning to do about his diet.... after a visit to the hospital he has been told his blood sugar is up a bit, so as well as having a low potassium, low cholestrol and low all sorts of other things diet, we can now add the Diabetic Diet (Joy!!!) It wont change much, and as usual, after a bit of a moan hes back to being his postive happy self.
When we got back from our evening out, we were settling down to watch some joint telly trash when the phone went!
Loud and clear, from the other side of the world, there was my mums voice!!! It was about 9am "their" time and 8pm over here. They are now spending a few days with some friends from Weston Super Mare days.
Mum said they were planning to go to a cave by boat to see some glow worms, and Dad said that NZ is a bit like England, but about a million times more beautiful and lots of tropical plants to try and identify. The are having the time of their lives, and sounded so very happy :-)
I hope to hear more about these glow worms and their adventures soon, if their hosts dog does not lick them to death first :-)
What a lovely end to a spendid evening.
