Culture



 After a bit of a jaggered week, mum had to turn off the news, switch off the internet  and take herself out.  Her bestie joined her at the museum to look at New Zealand painter Rita Angus exhibition.   There were some lovely paintings, that even though they are 60+ years old would still look nice up on the wall.

The girls had lunch, then mum had a wander and ventured into shops for a couple of little treats.   There had been protesters causing chaos in the city for a couple of weeks, and mum had avoided going into town.  Now she wants to support local businesses that have had a tough time lately. 

She got home by mid afternoon to join me in enjoying the warm sunshine.  We relaxed, ate and napped together.   Lovely.

  6. I’m pleased mum kept away from the disaster areas. I love Wellington and had to stop watching. That and Russia was so depressing. I’m glad she had a lovely day off. She really deserves it. Also what a treat to come home to you. 🥰
