SMASHING GLASS?

SMASHING GLASS?

Last night Stew and I were just sitting down to watch American Idol... when we heard a noise outside... then SMASHING GLASS!  It sounded really close so we jumped up and looked outside.

It was Ambulance Officers breaking into our neighbours house!  Well of course we hot footed it over there to see if we could help in any way.

Our dear wee neighbour had taken a fall on the kitchen floor... and couldn't move.  The ambulance officers got her onto the stretcher and I went with her to hospital as her daughter (who lives with her) was out at the movies.

Myra is 84 ... and has had dreadful health in the past 18 months... starting with a stroke, then problems with her bowel... and now... A broken hip and elbow.  The poor thing.  I stayed with her for four hours until her daughter arrived...

So, I get to watch American Idol this morning! 
Then... not sure.
Can't visit Myra till at least next week as she isn't having surgery till Monday or Tuesday.
So, maybe after watching me show we will go out and about.... I feel the need to walk on a beach!

ABOVE:  well I think we are going here.  Omaha Beach.. which is just the most gorgeous beach for walking on.

ONWARD...

Well we have had a really lovely day!  I will show you our lunch:

ABOVE:  we went to our favourite pub in Matakana and ordered their 'Matakana Mega Works Burgers'... OMG they are amazing!!!

ABOVE:  said burger!  Chicken pattie, beef pattie, bacon, egg, cheese, lettuce, tomatoe, beetroot, pineapple and onion!  With sauce and mayo.   You could not fit it in your mouth... I had to eat bits out of it before I could wrap me mouth around it!  

 ABOVE:  Stew on the other hand has a big gob and managed it!  lol  The kids had chips and chicken nuggets.  Griffin was being a twit.

ABOVE: we had a tiki tour around the houses in Omaha before hitting the beach... this was a mural on a house wall!  Gorgeous... stunning even.

ABOVE: I found this really neat shell... with 'thingees' on it.  Totally cool.

I took a few more really lovely photos of the beach itself, which I will share with you tomorrow. 

On our way home we stopped in for a visit with family friends in Brown's Bay (Auckland) and now I'm waiting for Stewy to cook dinner again!  Not expecting or need much after our huge lunch!

PENNY:  re your comment yesterday... YOU ARE ON!  I would love to meet you.

End of Day:  tired tonight.  Just watching some programmes on the telly that we missed last night.
DIET: don't ask!
nite nite.
