Definitely a good day

 First job this morning was to sort my debit card....off to the bank and I found a very helpful...and senior I think...worker in the bank. We worked out that one problem is that non NZ cards don't do Paywave (love that...better than Contactless!) and even though it is a debit card I have to press Credit, even though it is a debit card! Relief!!

Then down to Mud Ducks for coffee to celebrate!






I was intending to go back and go for a ride...but a message from a friend changed that!

So I waited to be collected by her husband in their car






And spot things whilst waiting!

It was a great get-together and catch up, and gardening talk and lunch....and a lift back to the Stayplace with fresh fruit and veges from their garden plus preserves!

The roads were too busy for a ride, so a good walk around the block...which took an hour with camera stops!! And was definitely hill work!!













Kawa kawa..a very useful plant





Bastia hill water tower..no longer with water 



The owner of that green Morris Minor pickup lent it to us for a drive a few years ago!
