No need to rush

Frank, Nina, Tansy & I went to the Saturday market where they had arts, crafts, fresh fruits & vegetables. I only had $1.50 in my pocket & the banks were closed being Saturday, so I borrowed $40 from Nina. I bought little bread loaves & honey. Alison met us there & took Tansy & me to a museum that unfortunately was closed. We went to a few more shops, etc. We didn't get back to Alison's till 3pm & Frank was mad because they planned on heading out of town that afternoon.

It always takes forever for Tansy to pack up her stuff. Not only does she have all she owns in two bags, but she slows way down the more she's pressured. It's just a Tansy thing. Alison had a lot to pack too. Finally around 4:30, Frank, Nina, & Tansy headed off for Jack's in Christchurch which is a 4 hr. drive.

Alison & I took off at 5 or 6. While driving down her hill we discussed where we might spend the night & how important it was leaving today. At the bottom, we turned around & drove back up. We spent the night at Alison's. Ahhhh, nice & relaxing.
