bon voyage so far.

Let's see.


Drive. Park. Plane. Auckland. 


Plane. Movie. Sleep. Princess documentary. Belgian lawyers. 10,000 steps. Queues. Customs. Telstra dramas. Luggage. Wi-fi dramas. Double parking. LA traffic. Freeways. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Townhouse. Five seater recliner lounge. Sister-in-law. Conversations. Portuguese Water Dogs. Psychology. Baseball. Music. Salad. Pizza. Directions. Traffic. Traffic. Traffic. Turn off. Turn in. Switch off. Shower. Sleep.


Wake. Woozy. Drink. Head fuzzy. Nausea. Phone dramas. Expletive -deleted. The curious case of painless migraine. Sleep.


Take 2. Wake. Telecommunications dramas. Swim. Chat. Relax with my mother-in-law (a pretty amazing woman). Reminisce. Pinot g. Poh's amazing no-cook tomato sauce with pasta and sweet potato ravioli and salad and garlic toast. Pool. Sleep.


Wake. Avocado and Vegemite toast (cooked perfectly to the right texture and colour, cooled enough to let the butter maintain integrity under a decent layer of Vegemite then plastered with avocado, ground pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice) (cut into fingers, the only way to eat such delight). School work. Photo albums. Pantry audits (it's one of the benefits of being related to me in any way). (& Yes, her plastics drawer too). Traffic. Red Robin. Sees. Sleepers. Target. Escalators for trolleys! Cereals. Spices?! Serious flaw in building design, centre parking management and store layout. 


Finding shade. Waiting. Waiting. Traffic. Home unpack. Regroup. V and Paris back in the pool while I dragged the mother-in-law to another grocery store. Differences in deli counter options. Veg selection. Brats. Carbonated water flavours. Traffic. You Tube surfs. Taco Tuesday. 


Pool.

Busy, busy, busy!! And most of it sounds fun! (vegemite and avocado? I wouldn't have thought to put the two together)
