Not satisfied with an almost deserted beach yesterday, Liz took me to Waiake Beach today which has a little island in the bay. I wanted this island for myself so I waded out and staked my claim. I envisioned levelling off the top and building a citadel on the top connected by a drawbridge, which I can close off when people annoy me. I bought a New Zealand lottery ticket today so it's possible!!People must have been stalking us, or we were setting a trend, because the beach soon filled up with fishermen and sunbathers. I kept a close eye on my island but nobody dared cross to it in the time we were there. I swam in the sea, which was really warm (I have photographic evidence), lounged about and finished my book.
After a late liquid lunch, Liz and I picked up Anna and went to yet another beach called Rothersay Bay where we beachcombed until hunger meant we had to leave for the shops. Cheap pizza tonight; my economy drive over the last few days is paying off. I can splash out now on the last few days.I really don't want to leave; today has been idyllic. Fingers crossed for that lottery draw tomorrow!
