Rowan’s mum wants him to stay longer to be here for Bette, so I am going back to NZ alone.  The day is rather chill, we try to arrange a meet up with Aunty Christine but it doesn’t work out. I go up to the shops with Joanne, the car gets cleaned while we shop. Joanne wants a massage and I want a pedicure. Unfortunately the nail salon is too busy and we end up skipping those. We get the drycleaning sorted and a bunch of food. We then wait for the car to be ready and drink coffee. The day goes rather fast, I get a chance to pack for my flight and we get a few jobs around the house done.

My flight is at lunchtime so we head to the airport after 9am. Joanne drops us off and she will be back when Rowan calls her. We get into the check in counter and realise my flight has just been delayed by 3 hours. We check in anyway and they give me a $20 voucher as an apology. Rowan calls Joanne to come back and we head out to a block of shops in an industrial building for some brunch. By the time we do this it is time to head back to the airport. I say goodbye again and decide to go through to security. This takes a lot longer than it did in NZ, Once through I have no idea on what to spend the money on so I buy lollies that we can’t get back home. I order a chai latte and kill sometime blogging. I have gotten rather behind! Before I know it we are boarding the plane. A very uneventful flight, but I have a lot of missed calls from my sister. My message never came through to her she was expecting me hours ago. Whoops so I sneak in to her place rather late by the time I got mums car and grabbed a bite to eat it was past 10pm. I had a quick cuppa and hopped into bed.
