V8 and Chiefs

The week was spent in anticipation of Blake and Jen arriving - Si became like an excited child (a personality trait I'm quite used to now)
On Friday evening Jen, Blake, Joe, Kathryn and James headed over to Hamilton for the weekend. yes we were gonna squeeze all 7 in our little flat) That evening we headed over to the Chiefs match.......again a loss!! But had a really good time, the beer was flowing (probably the most I've drank at a match yet) After that the girls went back to ours to get ready for the night out whilst the boys headed for more drinks. By the time we met them they had already sank 4 jaegerbombs. Ended up being a really heavy night out - and a really good one.

Saturday we headed out to Hamilton V8 ITM400 Supercar racing where the streets of hamilton were converted into a racecourse for the weekend. The plan was to start drinking again but everyone was feeling a little bit tender. Was a really great atmosphere and had a great day - even if the sun didn't shine for us. That evening we all went out for a lovely meal together.

On Sunday Jen, Blake, Kathryn and Joe had a flight to catch to the south island, so Si, James and I headed up to Auckland for the rest of the day. I wasn't back in work till Thursday and Si wasn't in till Monday afternoon, so it was a nice opportunity to spend a bit of time with Gem and James. That afternoon we played alot of tennis but unfortunately Gem had to head off on nights so it was a relatively chilled evening.
