Thursday morning after first popping into the office we
headed down south towards Rotorua. On our way we went into a café at Tirau and
had a cuppa. We also had a quick look around the shops. Our next stop was
Rotorua, we had decided to stay the night so booked into our motel first before
exploring the shops. Well one shop actually but we had a smashing time in
there, didn’t we Sue? Actually it’s not fair of me to post only half a story and
as Sue will probably not read this post anyway I’ll spill the beans. We went
into a shop called Spotlight. It’s a bit like Dunelm in England only they had
lots of really nice fabric as well. On our way out they had a nice display of candles, had
being the important word here. Malcolm and I were reading the signs, outloud,
that were placed on each shelf stating not to pick the jars up by the neck of
the jar. We watch as Sue very carefully picked the jar up just underneath the
neck only that didn’t quite work out as planned. CRASH-SMASH Opps!
The two shop assistants were very kind and pleasant and
cleared up all the smashed glass. I didn’t realise that glass could spread so
far. We were very apologetic as we left the shop but when we were outside we
saw the funny side and were in fits of laughter. Next stop a cuppa to calm the
nerves. Sadly during all of this Elder Saunders was back at the motel resting/preparing
for rnight out. Actually it was a very good night out. We went with Sue
& Malcolm to a Maori cultural show which was very enjoyable.
