Day 85 - Reunion with Brent and Jeanette

1st February, Chaggie can now say they are back in England next month. Chaggie today had planned to meet up with Brent and Jeanette, had been over a month since we stayed with them back in December. We woke up today at 11:00, no need for breakfast, we soon had lunch.

Today was a rather slobbish day, with Chino not feeling too great Chaggie spend most of it catching up on organising themselves and chilling out to 'How I Met Your Mother', Ricky Gervais Podcast and Stereophonics. We went out to town today at 15:00 to do a bit of shopping, our main intention was to buy ingredients for dinner this evening, the menu was home-made tomato and garlic bread cooked by Chino followed by Staggie's famous pasta dish...we forgot about desert though.

We popped in to see and catch up with Brent and Jeanette this afternoon at 16:30, we got there after taking our groceries back to Russell and Barbara's.  Was teriffic to see Brent and Jeanette again this afternoon, both very good hosts, they were very interested to hear about Chaggie's travels. Not only did we see Brent and Jeanette though, there was a surprise for Staggie too, another member of his family who he was not expecting to see. Bernaud, another one of Staggie's second cousins, was very good to meet him, another part of the family tree Phill can tick off now that he's met him. Was a pleasant surprise.

We left around 18:30, got back to Porirua and started cooking. Unfortunately the ingredients weren't what Phill usually works with but the meal was still much appreciated. We had a pudding cooked by Russell, finished the evening with NZ vs Pakistan in the 50-50 ODI cricket.
