Had to go fetch our TradeMe bed from Ashburton today - about an hour's drive north, about halfway between Timaru and Christchurch. Kurt had offered us the use of his trailer, so after a quick fill up of petrol (I'm still a bit nervous about filling the car - in case I overfill and petrol goes spilling everywhere or something) and pick-up of the trailer, we were off. It was an easy and pleasant drive along one straight highway until we reached Ashburton, and then two right turns got us to the house.

(Dad, thought you would like particular vendor in the photo). Found a shop selling breadrolls and chips so had chiprolls in the car on the way home. Took the bed-laden trailer back to Kurt and Shirley where it will stay until Monday, and found Shirley picking beans...

Tea at Matt and Rachel's place with Simon and Debbie Bruce and their three children Simone, James and Daniel - they attend MRBC so it was great to be able to spend some time with them outside of church. Played a few mind/guessing games - Nick and I had a few up our sleeve and Matt had one or two new ones for us, and Nick did his chicken trick for the kids!
