We headed to the Catlins for Mr Pigalina’s birthday, to relax and do nothing. The goal was achieved.

Hammock Time
I didn’t even get my hammock out of storage last year as the weather wasn’t great. Today I got it out and hung it and am looking forward to some lazy afternoons reading it the sun.
Nerd Cat PJs
Until Summer really kicks in, there is nothing better than popping on your PJ pants as soon as you get home.
These nerd cat ones are my new favourite. I also have a pair of leopard print ones that, for reasons unknown, cause Mr Pigalina to declare they make him feel physically sick.
Moeraki
With gale force winds and rain forecast I envisioned our trip to Moeraki to be largely spent indoors. In fact we had quite the opposite, apart from a blustery late afternoon.
We visited the reserve by the lighthouse and discovered the field that grows sea lions; took the dog for a walk up the Millenium Track to where the whalers used to look out for whales until they killed most of them off. We dined on fish at the World famous Fleur’s restaurant. So. Much. Fish.
In the afternoon we read magazines in the sun, then when the weather took a turn, watched the worst movie ever – High Freakquency. (Seriously bad, the story, the acting, the sound quality, the camera work; heck the cover even has a photo from ANOTHER FILM on it (Friday). Avoid. What a waste of 12c to buy it).
In the evening we squeezed more food into our full bellies at the tavern where I sampled Moeraki Draught.
A great, relaxing weekend and only an hour from home.
Collars off, PJs on
Collars off – shirt ones and animal ones; slap on the PJs because it’s Friday evening.
It’s The Freakin’ (Long) Weekend, Baby, Imma Bout To Have Me Some Fun
Tomorrow is a public holiday in NZ, Waitangi Day. It is also Thursday so I have taken the Friday off too. Four day weekend! My PJ pants are on, even the dog is getting comfy with no collar on.
Fire up the Xbox and open that beer.

I’m afraid this is it for the day. Busy, busy then relaxing before another busy work day. This is my temporary tattoo from the roller derby – peeled off and rolled into a snail. Exciting!

As my treat for Zumbaing, and Kinecting this week I indulged in one of my favourite activities – bubble bath, book and wine. The hot water of the bath means the alcohol’s calories just melt out of your body. We all know that. (I subscribe to the Lucille Bluth school of wisdom).
