Birthdays & Work
What a fun week it has been - two birthdays and Nicky has started work.
On Tuesday it was Claire's birthday. We started the day with gift opening after a late breakfast. She was given a wonderful range of presents. Then we went to the Crepé Café in LynnMall and had pancakes for lunch. In the afternoon I made a veggie lasagne which was devoured in the evening by the Moss-Masons, Kim & Shani, Jenny and Anna, and followed by a scrummy Apple cake which Nicky had made. It was a very enjoyable day.
On Wednesday, Nickys' birthday was a little more low key. More late breakfast and present opening followed by an afternoon trip to the cinema to see Elizabeth, The Golden Age. We all enjoyed this and also enjoyed our fist visit to what we expect to become out local cinema - really good seats, plenty of leg room and a good incline which N & C appreciate (so they can see over tall peoples' heads).
On Thursday Nicky started work -yippe!! with Waitakere Libraries. She is being trained for two weeks at Henderson, which is about a 20 minute drive away. The she will be "on-call" for all seven of the Waitakere libraries. She has also been offered permanent hours at Henderson for Thursday evenings and all day Saturdays, but we don't know when this will start. Nicky has found her first two days very tiring, which is only to be expected, but she is getting to grips with the new systems and her many years of experience are really helping.
Next week will be busy for Claire as all the shopping malls have extended their opening hours (anybody would think it was nearly Christmas) and she is working every day except Thursday. I am off for a walk-in visit to Air New Zealand on Monday which may lead to work in their Call Centre. I have applied for a number of jobs following my visit to a jobs expo last weekend, and Air New Zealand are the first ones to respond.
