Good friends truly do make the world go 'round. The weekend just past, Kyle and I were graced by the presence of our wonderful friend Astrid who came up from Dunedin on Saturday and brought plenty of goodies to keep us amused and entertained ... beware of Maori lesbians bearing gifts! We had lunch at Felix and then took the cable car up to the Botanic Gardens and strolled leisurely down the hill and back into the city after that. That's the good thing about having friends to stay ... you've got the perfect excuse to get of your chuff and go and do something you haven't yet gotten around to. The cemetary you end up walking through along the way also added the requisite "WTF?" element to the excursion.

After I bashed up a lasagna for dinner, we headed off to see "X2" (or "X2: ~~Manchester~~ X-Men United" or whatever the hell it's supposed to be) which was pretty damn good. Nightcrawler's teleporting was quite stunning, Serena was clearly having a blast and the whole thing hummed along quite nicely (go read Chris' review because it's realy personal and damn good). A loud boozy party at Aaron and Mark's poke-your-eyes-out-for apartment followed, as did a visit to that bar for drinks and giggles, before we all finally crashed mid-early morning sometime.

So what do we have to entertain our visitor the following day? Try this:

Faffing around in PJs, eating leftover lasagna toasted sandwiches, reading the TV guide, watching DVDs, eating top notch roast chicken (by Chef Kyle) and generally being the complete opposite of the butterflies we were the day before. Brilliant. Come back soon baby!
