Waitangi Weekend

We've had lovely weather for the whole holiday weekend, but right now I'm wondering how I'll sleep tonight as it is still very warm. We went down to the beach late this afternoon to try & cool off, but the water was warm & the sun still hot, so the cooling off didn't last long.However it was beautiful down there & there was not a soul in sight, & Tama was happy.

Summer hols at an end

First day back at work today & it was all good. I didn't do much over the holidays, but we had a few special days to celebrate during that time. On Thursday we went to Florence & Winston's house for dinner to catch up with Lisa before she heads off back to Edinburgh. Marg was there as well. It was lovely to see Lisa & to catch up with all her news. Florence & Lisa had prepared a beautiful Greek meal of barbecued lamb & beef, spanakopita, tzatziki, zucchini fritters & stuffed tomatoes. The 'piece de resistance' though was the baklavas made with their own walnuts.
