Power Cut = Shopping!

We had a power cut for several hours due to a couple of crashes into power poles either side of our place (not sure which one was actually to blame)

So the girls and I did an impromptu shopping trip to Hastings (where they had power!)

Here's Lily's "something 'bout a Magpie" top, ready for next weekend...

Our weekend: well, Mike needs some practise drinking it seems! We were warned that our neighbour was having his 21st so the kids had a holiday at Nannie and Grand-da's. We painted the ceilings (as you do to prepare for a big night out!) and then went next door. Great party, I'd almost forgotten how much fun 21 could be! And it looks like Mike had forgotten how to drink (or how to drink slowly!) It didn't end so well with a guy's arm going through a window (he spent Sunday in surgery repairing 4 tendons and his artery, but is doing ok, out tomorrow - seen the photos!), but Mike yesterday...oh man...he really needs more practise! Any offers?????
