On Monday Jamie and Kerry were at work so in the morning James, Whisky and I went for brunch at the wee Empire Cinema in Island Bay, then strolled down to the beach. We had lots of stops so that Whisky wouldn’t get over-tired because he is still just a puppy. When we got back to the house he was very excited and kept running around, bringing his toys to show us, and running in and out of the back door, then he had a nap on James’ lap for a while. Whisky’s newest toy is a Highland Cow sent to him by his cousin, our grand-cat Skye, all the way from Scotland! Skye had even signed a card welcoming Whisky to the family - her signature was a paw print in blue paint, which apparently caused a bit of mess at Casa Anderson Uddingston! It was so thoughtful of Davie and Chanel, and Whisky, Jamie and Kerry were thrilled.
At about 3 p.m. it was time for James and I to move to our Airbnb just down the road in Derwent Street, so Whisky went into his crate for a proper rest. We are very happy with our little apartment which has a small garden to sit out in. We know that we are very welcome at Jamie and Kerry’s, and we will be staying with them again at the end of our holiday, however they both work full time and James and I thought that since we will be in Wellington for a fortnight, it would be nice for them to come home to a quiet house after a long day at work. By the time we unpacked and went to the supermarket it was almost time to start preparing Jamie and Kerry’s dinner; not that it needed much preparation since we had a simple Greek theme with chicken for James and Jamie and fried tofu for Kerry and me, wee potato gratins, pitta bread, olives, tsatsiki and hummus. We had a convivial evening while Whisky napped in the car after his puppy training class.
