It rained all night and a loch appeared on the reserve (park) next door. So definately good for the ducks. There are a lot of ducks in Wanaka, but we don't usually see lots of them on this side of town. When you drive along the shore front, you often have to stop and let Mr and Mrs cross the road. There were many lovely couples taking the air yesterday afternoon when I drove home, safe from the hunters that must come shopping in town and feel their trigger fingers twitching as the tourist in front stops to let the ducks cross.
Maggie took me to Hawea for lunch and then drove me up to Makarora which is the first township you come to after you cross over at The Neck, to the Lake Wanaka side. The photo of the road leading straight to the mountains is where you cross over from Lake Hawea to Lake Wanaka. The rain was just starting at Makarora as it is so close to the mountains. We had a lovely afternoon, but will still say our goodbyes next week.
Meg went to work, Finn went to Sam's and Spook didn't come home, so we could really have headed right to the coast!
Sarsha has a sore wrist too, so we conclude from that, that 30hrs is too much cleaning at any age. It does all get a bit quieter now. The night at the Eagles Tribute has been changed to a night in town, so hope Spook wont be too disappointed. Lake Ohau still on hold until a decision can be made. It is pretty windy and I am enjoying the sound of it (better than rain on the roof). The roof is a bit rattly though.
grateful for:
a roof.
an afternoon with Maggie.
