City living

So, we're back in Auckland now, at Jo's dad's place. We arrived at about 9-ish and it's been a pretty relaxing day not doing a lot, which is nice. I'm having to use Len (my father-in-law)'s computer while I'm here as he doesn't have a wireless router I can tag on to. Unfortunately that may limit how much I get to write on here.

We don't have an awful lot planned for our week here, other than spending time with Len and Val. Tomorrow we may take a bus in the centre of town and have a wander around and do a few admin-y things like getting me added on to Joanne's AA membership. And then Friday Len, Joanne and I are probably going to check out The Food Show. As the website says "this event is huge and it showcases the products of nearly 300 exhibitors spread over a whopping 10,000 square metres of space". I thought it might be a good way to sample a few Kiwi food brands. I think the first time we go grocery shopping down in Chch may well be a time-consuming experience.

And while we're thinking about food, another Cadbury's bar in the 'Dairy Milk Desserts' range is Banoffee Pie. It's probably even nicer than the Fudge Brownie stuff.
