Sometimes
you just have to stop tripping around and get the housework done. That is after
a good brekky of bacon, eggs and mushrooms very tastily prepared by The Man.
Nom nom nom.
He’s
a great bloke my man. While I was tackling the bathroom he ran the vacuum
cleaner around the rest of our little flat.
Both
of us have had a good chuck out too, of magazines and brochures that we have
been collecting, so we were feeling doubly virtuous. In amongst the brochures I
came across a picture taken of us two and The Man’s sister and brother-in-law
taken when we all went to the Edinburgh Tattoo, wow, that was way back in
September 2010.
It
really was too nice a day to spend all of it indoors so we decided that a nice
stroll in the park was the order of the afternoon.
The park is very well used
by sportsfolks and families alike. It boasts a great sports complex that
houses pools, indoor rock climbing, gyms, squash courts, and a café among its
facilities. In the grounds the beach volleyball courts were all occupied.
We
walked on a bit further to look over the remote control car track, but only one
quiet saloon was running around the convoluted track. Down on the flat area the
little kids playground was buzzing with activity and laughter.
We
stopped in at the outside café for a latte and a muffin and something absolutely
astounding happened to us there.
And
what was it.
Well
we like our muffins warmed a little and they were actually able to do it for
us. Every other place we have been into over here, and I mean every, the
counter staff look amazed when we ask them to warm the tasty morsels. And the
answer has always been, until today, no because they don’t have a microwave.
With
the park so close it’s like having the Wellington Botanical Gardens on our
doorstep. OK so there isn’t the abundance of flower beds that Wellington's gardens has , but apart from that
and the dinosaurs, it is.
Speaking
of the large and terrible lizards, they look really good in amongst the new
spring growth don’t you think?
