Can't believe I leave in two days time. Its been a whirlwind of action over Waitangi weekend and I'm still not packed. I couldn't bear to leave the country without seeing my new great-niece Elsa Rose, thats her in the photo in case you were wondering why I had a picture of an angel on the blog. She is a week old today and she is lovely and very precious. I went up to Auckland for Sunday and spent the day with the family. Met Elsa, played with her big sister Holly and hung out with her mum and dad. Holly periodically goes up to Elsa, looks at her lovingly and says 'Oh she's so cute' then walks away to carry on with whatever she was doing. It was a lovely time and I'm so glad I went up, thank goodness for a three day weekend.
But now its getting serious, seriously serious. I've had a couple of goes at packing, how come I can take out what looks like at least a third of the contents, rearrange whats left, look away for a moment and then when I look back the suitcase looks just as full as it was before?. Its bizarre, the packing fairy is messing with me I fear. I'll have another go in a minute but I don't hold out much hope - it may be tears before bedtime, or at least a few 'bad' words mumbled loudly.
OK, once more into the suitcase.....wish me luck.
