Our Weekend

We had a jam packed weekend. Saturday morning was spent at Mitre 10 Mega getting bits and pieces to get our fence started, then Dean made a start by putting some posts in. Go Dean!! Then that evening along with half of Auckland (est 80,000 people attended) we headed to Mission Bay for the Jazz and Blues Festival. Man it was packed!! We parked up in a spot near the water which was nice, but unfortunately in between stages so only got blended sound, There were lots of stages with bands playing and lots of yummy food stalls, most of which I have to steer clear of being pregnant and having to be paranoid of 'Listeria' boo for Listeria, no ham, deli food, stall food, foodcourt food, camembert cheese, oysters, raw seafood blah blah blah the list is sooo long, sorry way off subject but had to have a moan. Anyway it was a good family evening out. I don't have any pics of the crowd but it was huge.

















Sunday
Dean finished putting the fence posts in, then it was a mad rush to attend another packed out event, this time The Black Seeds playing at the zoo. If you remember this time last year we went to see Che Fu at the Zoo and Nathan won an electric guitar with his mad tiger tail dance moves. Anyway no prizes won this year but we went hard on all the freebies around, fee Gin and Tonic samples (Dean) free coffee and brownies, and free bottles of Orange Juice/Spirulina/Berry Smoothie which we scored about 7 bottles of, courtesy of Wild Bean Cafe. The concert was great other than being so packed, tickets said gates open at 6pm, Dean's workmate rang at 5.30 saying he was already in and it was already packed. So our spot wasn't the greatest but we walked around a bit an enjoyed the atmosphere and music. For those Aussies reading, The Black Seeds are yet another choice NZ band, check them out at
