28 degrees and lovely wind. Not good for the bike, should one choose to go out on it, but very pleasant for those of us who choose to take the car up the west coast road a wee bit, to gather some nice drift wood. Probably about 30kms from here. Finn had been there fishing with his Dad, so knew where we could get parked by the lake (Hawea). Meg is sporting a slash of red/pink, freshly bleached and stained into her hair this morning - very fetching. (Michaela got a streak of blue).
We strolled along the shore line, with the water rushing noisily ashore as if it were tidal. I had my eyes to the ground, so didn't notice the couple sun-bathing in a sheltered spot. Meg did and frantically tried to about turn me, without my knowing why. Finn had been looking for the perfect skimming stone and we were almost tripping over their toes, by the time Finn and I looked up. Didn't bother the couple at all, but Finn was grinning from ear to ear and was wondering if it was legal for ladies to be topless in public.
We had huge ice-creams in a cone at the village of Lake Hawea on the way home. We sat outside to eat them and had to slurp noisily and forego any conversation before we could get them under control in the melting sun. We were wearing a substantial amount of gooey stuff by the end and I now have severe belly ache from the unaccustomed scoffing of such a portion. The children are fine.
We checked to see if our current home has been put back on the market. It has, and can be viewed at www.accommodationwanaka.com by any prospective renter. Look under long term rental. First on the list. This is what it looked before we moved in and while Robbi was living here and keeping it in order. Meg and I decided we might spend some of tomorrow trying to get it closer to this state.
