I had thought that we were half way through the winter, but according to Google NZ this morning, it is the first day of winter. We had a lovely long lie as the clouds were doing their morning conversion thing and it was chilly. WE had coffee and hot chocolate in bed all together with the cougar cat (she has a very wild streak and we reckon she's a close cousin). Then we got up and tidied up the house to make it look more welcoming for Spook. Finn was most helpful once he stopped trying to just drape the cloths over the line without pegs. We had a walk by the lakeside and a great blether with a man I see down there a lot with his dog. He is half Dutch/Belgian and was brought up at Lake Tekapo. He went shooting on an estate at Strontian many years ago and also stayed in the youth hostel in Glen Nevis. He used to have a girlfriend who lived on Lochee Road in Dundee, so he was chuffed to hear that I lived on that road for 2 years. He's wanting to meet Spook for a cup of tea and talk Highlands.
Finn insisted on being a Southern Man with the shorts and the ice.
I read in the Sunday Herald this morning (online)that it is Fathers Day in the Uk. There is no sign of a fathers day over here, so Spooks had it. Hopefully he wont notice anyway as he stuck between time zones. I caught my Dad before breakfast this morning and after my tea. Still can't get used to such big time differences. I think Spook will know all about it after such a short visit to the Northern Hemisphere.
