Jamie was off work on Saturday and Kerry was sleeping between night shifts, so Jamie met us at the Beach House Café in Island Bay for brunch and we had a really good chat. The weather was a bit rainy, so at Jamie’s suggestion we went to the Dr Who exhibition in the town centre, which was great fun. It was a good exhibition with lots of replicas of various monsters, and it was very popular. We did a bit of shopping and then decided to watch a couple of episodes of the new (from earlier this year) series of Dr Who. I haven’t watched Dr Who for ages and I was pleasantly surprised at how good this series is; Ncuti Gatwa is excellent as the doctor. When Kerry got up we ordered in a curry and had a lovely chat.
This morning (Sunday) Kerry was sleeping after her night shift; James and I had breakfast again with Jamie at the Beach House Café before collecting Whisky from the house and heading for a new beach, Makara Beach, which has a coastal walkway. It was stunning, with sweeping waves and piles of driftwood on the shore. It also had lots of low shrubs with pretty pink daisy-like flowers with yellow middles, known as the New Zealand ice plant. On the way home we had coffee and scones at the friendly Café Aro in the Aro Valley. Of course the best bit of all this was spending time chatting with Jamie, it’s so nice to be with him. Later on we went to the Parrotdog Bar with Jamie, Kerry, Jasmine and Theo. It’s a casual and dog friendly pub with a simple but tasty menu, so Whisky came too, and we had a convivial evening before Kerry went home to get ready for her last night shift.
