Yesterday was a bit overcast, warm but cloudy, so I did pretty much nothing except go to the local mall with Liz and stock up on food and booze. It was a pretty gloomy day so we all lounged and watched junk TV. This was just what I needed to reset my brain after seeing so much awesome over the last few days. I have been introduced to "Lindauer", a NZ produced sparkling wine which is IDENTICAL to proper champagne which is $8.99 a bottle because there is a wine glut over here. I am obviously doing New Zealand a massive favour by drinking this.
Today again was gloomy. Liz and I picked up Eve and went to Milford purely because it has the same name as a village close to where I live. The Milford here is a tad different as it has a really wonderful sandy beach as well as some rock pools which I investigated with Eve. After we had been there a short while the weather did a total U-Turn in the space of 10 minutes (totally wierd) and the clouds went, the sun came out and it became imperative to sunbathe. How handy that we were on a beach when this miracle happened.
Whilst Liz and Eve sunbathed on some decking I explored a bit further and found a deserted cove. I christened it "Dan's Bay" and thus it shall always be called. The picture of me is at Dan's Bay. I recommend a visit, but you must pay me a tithe cos it's mine.After picking Anna up from school it was still a scorcher so I resumed sunbathing in the garden to build up a bit of resistance, because the looking at the forecasts it is sun for the next 4 days. More Lindauer will be consumed tonight I suspect.
