Crusader Country

Hello. We are still here. Thank you Janice the email got here and to Chris at work.I missed all the news so have a lot of catching up to do. As you may have read, I had a stay in hospital. I developed severe pain on SSunday afternoon while shopping for tea ingredients with Chris. Sorry Jayne and Amy, we'll try again soon. The doctors have discovered Gall Stones. Yuk. Very, very painful. Sunday night was a long night, seeing another doctor at 4.30 ish (am) and then admitted. Came home on Tuesday on a very low/no fat diet. Feeling much better, and we have decided to go private and get rid of the stones. Thank you for the good wishes.
A belated happy birthday to all those who have celebrated recently. Hope you all celebrated well and enjoyed.
Congratulations David and Jeff on your graduation.
A gorgeous day here today. Yesterday we had nor west winds and was mild. Have jandals, jeans and short sleeved short on, it's so mild. Nice though.
We pruned our flowering cherry tree at the front about 3 weeks ago. Lots more light in now. Chris brought himself a chainsaw. He had a great time!
George is now working at BP Avonhead. He works 3 pm til 11pm, Tuesday through Saturday. Is enjoying. Easter seems so long ago. We had a lovely time there. Got traffic jammed at 11.30 on Good Friday morning where the motorway goes into 2 lanes before Kaipoi.Did a u-turn and scooted through Rangiora. Same on way home again, as we left later than planned. George crashed his mates uninsured car. No one injured which is a miracle. The car not so lucky. The car has finally been sorted and a replacement purchased. Insurance was strongly suggested to the owners!! Brigette is looking forward to her Formal on June 9th. We have hired a dress and hopefully, now have all the extras sorted. She is enjoying photography and Tourism this year, having already been to Kaikoura for 2 weekend trips. Brigette is still at Hoyts, Riccarton. They all went Rock climbing on Tuesday. Loved it.
Chris is busy at band with National Contest in Auckland the first week of next school hols. (First week of July). Brigette and I are also going (All going well!) We plan to go to the new shopping centre ? Sylvia park, so Brigette can check out the new Hoyts. They have a huge screen. Will be a nice break.
Hope this finds you all well as most of us are. Take care. Love to all
Kate
