Convalescence Day 17, A Caper Caper

I went on an Adventure today - a Caper Caper, indeed. See me all excited and ready to hit the road below.... I'm smiling because I'm not only wearing my penguin sweater but also my grey nappa leather mini skirt AND a velvet puffed sleeve jacket. Meow.

So yeah, Boy took me out! We borrowed a mobility scooter (Old Woman Electric Blingin') from the Wellington City Council and went on super exciting adventures in the City Where Everyone Walks Everywhere. We went to Nikau for coffee and cake (I had a little tamarillo meringue cake), to Catch Sushi Bar for lunch, to Te Papa to see the Rita Angus exhibition and then to Moore Wilsons where I bought too much specialty food. Like a kilo of salted capers and a 2300gm jar of Kalamata olives. Then while we were arseing about later I drove too fast over a bump near the church on Tory street and one of the shopping backs hanging off the back of the scooter flew off and the jar of salted capers EXPLODED! But in the bag so not so disastrous. I also made Boy go with me to the Salvation Army store on the corner of Ghuznee and Tory where I bought a framed tapestry of poppies and a black shift dress to add to my collection of black dresses - some time ago I thought that it would be awesome to only ever go out in black dresses and started collecting them, almost.

A little later we saw Jessica and Sam wandering the streets and preparing for their impending Europe trip... the only people I knew that we saw the whole day. Although, explaining the Scooter to them was difficult enough...
