For me, it’s technically still Saturday, because I haven’t gone to bed yet…
Another great day. Once again fantastic weather – apparently it got up to 33 degrees in Christchurch, although I wasn’t in Christchurch most of the day, I was in Waipara, attending Tim and Leah’s wedding, which was awesome. Start time was 1:30pm First they got married in the church (description somewhat abbreviated) and then we drove to the reception, which was in a marquee and listened to a number of great speeches and had a nice afternoon tea, which was good due to the lack of any form of lunch consumption on my part. After the speeches we were told that our next course of action was to hop on the steam train which had pulled up outside and travel Weka pass (and back again), which was an unexpected surprise and another opportunity to mingle, consume beverages and peruse the amazing view as it came past us. When we got back to the tent we found a helicopter waiting outside to take Tim and Leah away! which I thought was a very cool idea.
After helping a bit with the cleanup we eventually arrived back in Christchurch at about 8:45 after which we had some sandwiches for tea and then headed around to Katies for a much needed swim (did I mention the weather) By this time it was dark, but the swim was still fantastic. Then Emily, Merodie, Rachael and me went into town and played pool for a bit and then went to meet the bridesmaids and some of the other wedding guests at shooters just after 12. We hung around there till about half past one and then went to Denny’s for some wedges and oreo shakes and then headed home.
And true to my word, I am updating my blog before I go to bed. I ramble when I’m tired.
