Tirohanga Section of Cycle Track
Headed out late afternoon yesterday to check out the newest section. Walked to Kelly's Beach & back to car - c55 minutes. Weather is meant to deteriorate over the next few days, so I thought I'd better make an effort. It was pretty hot though. Will need to go earlier or later in day over summer.

Batten down the hatches!
First decent rain for a while. Great for the garden, but not so good for tv viewing. Rain fade paints an interesting picture, but at least there's nothing important on to be ruined by it. The strong winds are what I hate. Off to bed with a new book to try & insulate myself from the elements.

Town end of track
Checked out the bridge access site on way home from town this morning. Piles are in place on town side, & plenty of activity taking place Snell Rd side. So it looks as if work is on schedule.

Walk to Otara River
Jocelyn & I walked from Hukuwai to Otara River stopbank & back after work today. Sun was shining, but the breeze was cool. Pretty warm by the time we headed back on return trip though. Trucks working at the end of the road taking the soil etc that the diggers had produced. Road surface along stopbank area pretty rough yet with larger metal, but great to see the progress. Good to get a different perspective of the town from the river.

River walk Whakatane
Left here in sunshine, but by the time we got to Whakatane the day had become grey & chilly. Walked to the Heads from town. The reconstruction on the huge slip still going on - looks like an open caste mine. Can't believe that some people are still living in these houses directly below it.

Long time No Blog
Thinking of using blogger more often rather than fb, but recently have had too many frustrations with blogs not posting. Wondering if the new Blogger interface will be any good!! Well it looks OK - that's a relief.
