Glugged-up Spook

Spook and I went for a 3 hr cycle today, up over a steep road to Aniseed Valley. It wasn't long before it became Argylle, in appearance. Steep forested hillsides with the cloud just sitting on top. It wasn't a very exciting cycle, but was good to get out together. Spook was feeling a bit tired and flat - possibly the afterwork period of adjustment, or just that he's not gluten-free. I felt fine, obviously. It was warm enough for just long-sleeved tops and shorts despite the cloud, and the rain never arrived. The children were all happily occupied when we got back so Spook drove me into Nelson so that I could see what it actually looked like. There was still low cloud so it wasn't at it's best, but I think I drove through Troon, Largs, past The Hotel California, and round Perth. I need to have a look at it in bright sunshine, as this cannot be an accurate assessment!
So Rabbit bay tomorrow and looking forward to seeing Marion and Glen's children almost 6 months since we saw them, soon after we arrived. Jessica Anne is talking now and Hector is trying to walk.
