This morning we took Whisky for a walk and then had our usual breakfast at the Beach House Café in Island Bay, where we are becoming regulars! We went into town to visit the Wellington War Memorial park which was very impressive, the older monument is currently covered in scaffolding but the new part is very impressive in chunky red stone with New Zealand designs on it. We also had a quick visit to the smart supermarket Moore Wilson’s and had coffee across the street at Café L’Affare. Then we headed back to Jamie and Kerry’s house to spend a very rainy afternoon with Whisky, cuddled up on the couch. We were just about to go out for another walk when the phone rang; it was Jamie and Kerry video calling us from a hot tub at their hotel in Dunedin. Kerry was wearing the most beautiful diamond ring - they are engaged! We did know in advance that Jamie had planned this lovely surprise for Kerry, hence our dog-sitting duties from Monday to Wednesday. Jamie proposed to Kerry on their favourite beach where they went on their first date. How romantic! He even arranged for a friend to slip down to the beach to take photos! They were both so happy, and we are absolutely delighted for them. After our walk with Whisky we went to the Tuesday night pub quiz at the Sprig and Fern where we came second last; we named ourselves “The Bairns” because the bar man we were chatting to comes from Falkirk, he heard the name being called out by the quizmaster and was very pleased! Back at the house we spent lots of time playing with Whisky until we were all tired out!
