The Storm??

Rain, rain, rain. Who said this country was dry? We heard the storm was finally coming in around lunch time. What it was, was a Scottish, blustery day. With heavy rain.

I worked from 8 - 12 noon and Spook had a long and messy day at the factory. He ended his day with a run and a nice wee ray of light. He reckoned he must have seen 100 rabbits, which makes it 100rph.

Meg and I went to Video EAsy to see if we could get a copy of Thelma and Louise. Somebody had already taken it out - we were victims of the rainy day.

I took Anne out for coffee this afternoon to thank her for the invite to Lake Ohau even though we hadn't been able to go. Funny thing is that it was the only ski field open in the South Island.

Spook has made a list of some of the things we need to try and do before his family heads home. Cinema Paradiso is high on the list, so we might go and see The Reader this week. Pizza and a dip at the Oakridge Spa pools. And I want a wee trip to walk along the beach at Bruce's Bay, 2hrs up the road. I haven't seen enough of the magnificent Kiwi surf and the drift wood.

grateful for;

the chance to acclimatise before coming home!!
