Journal Waitangi Day

OldEric says :-) Like most people we don't support Waitangi Day, if Waitangi Day falls on a weekday.... it was Thursday the 6th this year.... we just use it as another public holiday.

This Waitangi day we used it to erect our new bird aviary, a kit set. Everything was prepared in advance, Tony came down from Hamilton to help and he was here by 8am and by 8.30am, we with great confidence started our project. Pat, Tony, then Tahlia came and me.

Within a short time we struck problems, The damn thing wouldn't fit! We pulled the two erected sides down, restacked them on the base and went and had a coffee. Did we really want an aviary? There's one going cheap at 26 Dudley Ave in Huntly. Or maybe we will try again next year.

I hope Tony didn't have anything planned otherwise, it was a wasted day for him. We will take him out to dinner and celebrate my birthday this Friday. Shall we go Indian, Singaporean or just plain old Kiwi??. Or shall we go on Thursday instead.... decision,decisions. We will be taking Tahlia too, better be Friday.
