An enjoyable long weekend

No photos for this one as I don't have anything in particular to show. I might go and take some tomorrow for a garden update.

This Monday was Labour Day, which means little to me except that we got a long weekend out of it. I do enjoy not having to get up for work on a Monday morning!  We fit a lot into it, too.

Friday night - Operation Entertainment Book dinner out with Skry in the Flying Burrito Brothers. I haven't done these calculations for a while and there's a backlog, so bear with me:

+ 30.00 (Mud House Winery lunch a few weeks ago)

+ 71.10
+ 30.00 (dinner with Skry in Simo's restaurant for my birthday)

Alright, so that's the Operation Entertainment Book update out of the way!

Labour Day is traditionally when NZ gardeners plant out their tomatoes and peppers and other frost-hating plants. We did not realise that apparently we should have waited for the actual day, and planted ours out on Saturday, on a lovely hot sunny afternoon. Eight hours later, we had rain, wind, and hailstones! Our poor tomatoes :(

Oh well, the rest of the weekend was lovely, and today was an absolute scorcher. I planted some rose bushes and a swan plant (to attract monarch butterflies) and sat on the deck watching the chickens while Skry was off watching some wrestling match at a friend's house. It's all good.

It wasn't just any wrestling match - it was WWE Cyber Sunday, an important event in anyone's opinion!

You did get a good amount of gardening done too. It looks great and is a huge improvement on the way that it looked beforehand :D
