Dunedin: This weekend

7 Sat-
Today we Spring-cleaned the house.

Then went to The Warehouse for a sandwich and a look around. In Pac n Save, I enquired about HP sauce to two guys who were working there. I was only inquiring about what brand they would recommend as a supplement taste for HP, as the official HP they sell costs nearly $5, and as a standard I wont be buying it because of which.
So this guy and I were looking around the shelves but all there was is different branded BBQ sauces. The guy was saying how there really isn't a similar product to HP, when a woman straight up gave me a $5 bill to get HP. Somehow she overheard my conversation to the worker, and gave me the money to just buy HP sauce outright! 0_0. That was nice! We had a pie tonight so HP on a pie was gooooooood. Though it doesn't help when I finish the bottle. NZ MUST have a similar branded HP sauce for half the price.

8 Sun-
Today was fun.
We first went to The Warehouse just because. No real reason. We got a nice sandwich and a marmite bread each from Pac N Save, then drove to the peninsular.

First stop was Glenfalloch Gardens which was weird. There were a few nice plants, but there were really weird "modern art" sculptures which were rubbish and spoilt the setting, but not as badly as the closed off areas.

I kid you not, 90% of the tracks at Glenfalloch were closed off. We decided to walk behind the back to get something out of being there, but we ended up the other side walking out of a closed off area. So somehow we even walked in areas that we shouldn't have been too?! but those areas were fine! I dunno. It was just an annoying place. There wasn't even a waterfall there which was advertised. There was a board advertising things to do on the peninsular, mostly about the albatross center (which as I said before, is a complete an utter rip off), but there was NOTHING written on the board about our next destination..

So we next went to Larnach Castle.
Entrance fee for the gardens only was $15.50 each. Yeahhh thats a bit pricy. But otherwise it wasn't so bad a visit.
The place itself is more like a mansion with a few nice gardens to walk around. The ballroom was converted into a cafe, and what a stunning room it was too! It had two fireplaces, and two chandeliers hanging down. The gardens had an Alice in Wonderland theme, which works very well as its whole style is fitting as an English country garden.
Sabine and I had fun with a fantail that I found easy to video but she found impossible to photo.

Sabine named our stray black cat "Thunder" because he was always running off like lightning originally when he kept turning up for food, but now we can stroke him and play with him like its no big deal. This may have come about since he saw us petting fat black kitty, and he got jealous. Hes chased off the other fat black kitty more than once now.

Thunder is making progress with us. He seems confused though when he's in the house as he wants to be outside yet inside too. He's making a lot of progress with us so we just need to give it some time. We got a cat toy for him yesterday and he loves it! It's only a mouse on elasticated string but its a real winner with him.
