We usually have a can of beer, open a packet of chippies and talk for an hour or so and then go home.
I like to have at least one outing in the weekend. One of the best ones recently was a community planting day in the Castlecliff dunes. That was a real buzz because heaps of people came.
I like to go for a walk or a tramp. One of my latest goals for a tramp is I really want to go back to the Tauakira Trig.
It's actually one of the highest points you can see when looking towards Ruapehu from Whanganui.
It's quite steep and there's bush at the top, a radio station and amazing views.
I also like to walk around in parts of town that are new to me. As long as I have an outing of some kind.
It could also be a swim actually, like out at Mosquito Point or Castlecliff Beach.
Saturday night is a good night to cook something special. Maybe a big curry or something roasted in the oven.
There's a really nice jazz programme on the concert radio from five to seven that's really good weekend cooking music.
On Sundays, Richard [husband] likes to make a special bircher muesli breakfast. Especially if there's lots of fruit.
At the moment there are lots of passionfruit and apples in our garden so he uses those.
I like to finish Sunday night sitting outside with a cup of tea and surveying the whole landscape.
We're on the edge of Aramoho so we've got a really great outlook, and the sun skims the top of the hill.
