A Mixed Bag Weekend

Well it's been a quiet weekend, with Denver still not allowed out for another 5 weeks our big plans to head off for mammoth walks have been dashed.

Luckily for us Denver doesn't really know what a 'decent' walk are so he is happy just spending time with us. He does however love chasing the Fantails in the garden, and as there are many it keeps him busy!

Bored of the dog photos yet? Awww too bad - many more to come yet!

Saturday I went to a Nutrimetics party at Kaela's house. I had never heard of Nutrimetics, but apparently it's something well known to the Kiwi's for 40 years now. It was actually really good fun and we got to hear about and test the various products. We were also lured into a deep state of consciousness at the Relaxation Stage of the party which was surprising. After a wine I ended up spending some of our hard earned dollars on some beautiful products. I'm always the sucker for stuff like this.

Later in the day we met with our gorgeous friends Dawn and Darren at Murphys Law Irish Bar in Petone. It's been a while since we caught up so it was lovely to enjoy a drink and some food together. On the way there we caught sight of the most stunning rainbow which danced along the highway with us.

Sunday was lazy like a Sunday should be - well except for the grocery shopping!

Wellington has some lovely supermarkets, they range from Pak'nSave (the same as Aldi in the UK) to Woolworths (which is like Sainsbury's in the UK) but all have some exceptional produce. In between that lot is Countdown which we feel has the lowest prices (and they pack your bags for you too!).

We like to take Denver with us and he now travels like a super star in the car (minus the champers) and although he doesn't look it here he is a happy little soul!

So here we are shopping at Countdown, doing the important stuff.

What was our purpose for this shopping trip?! (Notice the healthy stuff in there too!).

And Bethany doing what she does best at the Supermarket (or Subermarket as she calls it!).

And of course anyone shopping that day must have took home some of this yummy looking produce. Anyone for a bag of Ass Ole Pieces?! Nice.

Shopping: $389

Last minute lollipop: 89c

Leaving the supermarket with a smile on our faces: Priceless.

Thanks to whoever deliberately put the 'special' sticker on that day!
