A week in Wellington

Kathleen and I are currently in Wellington visiting with Peter's family. We flew down here with Peter on Thursday evening, as Peter had a job interview in Wellington on Friday. We decided to combine the interview with a bit of a holiday and spent the weekend here. Peter flew home yesterday but Kat and I are staying for another week.

Peter said the interview on Friday went well, but we don't expect to hear anything until the end of the week, or maybe even next week.

Saturday night Peter and I went out into town on our own. Kathleen stayed home with Grandma. It was great to go out, just the two of us. First we went to the movies and saw Clerks II (see review below), then afterwards we grabbed a bite to eat at the foodcourt (neither of us were too hungry after all the popcorn). Then we met up with a bunch of Peter's paintball friends at the Ballroom and played some pool, and hung out drinking coffee until nearly midnight. How extreme!

Sunday evening the whole family (including Kat) went out to dinner at the Hogs Breath Cafe. Kat hadn't slept very well that day and I was fearing a repeat of the first time we took her out. And yes she started screaming as soon as we put her in the highchair. However when we put a plate of mashed potatoes in front of her she began to have a lot of fun picking up handfuls of mashed potato and playing with it, trying to put it in her mouth, and having most of it end up in her lap. And the rest of us were able to eat our meals in peace while she played with hers.



As we are here for the rest of the week, if anybody from Wellington or Palmy wants to catch up with us, send me an email or a text message.
