Great weekend

Saturday was a gloriously sunny day. We started off with a tour of the maternity ward at Waitakere Hospital. It has had some bad press recently in terms of its facilities - complaints like lack of en suite facilities in the ward and not enough chairs. It all looked very good to me. Nice and clean and colourful with a pleasant atmosphere.

From there we headed to Mission Bay to catch up with Jo and Phil. We all had a swim in the sea and Ethan and I explored the rock pools for a while and managed to find some crabs and sea snails to amuse him. He had a nap back at the apartment while we had a yummy fish and chips lunch. We then visited the Pasties for a quick cup of tea before they headed out to a barbie and we went for a walk along the coast. By the time we got home we were all pretty wrecked.

Sunday by contrast was a wet and miserable day. However I had the morning off Ethan duties as Ian took him to church and I went off to meet some of the Titirangi girls for brunch at one of our former haunts.
