Default Waikanae Weekend
I'm off to play in a croquet doubles tournament in Waikanae this weekend - weather forecast looks fairly horrible - but if anyone is passing, do drop in - think my partner and I are defending champions.

For the last few years we've gone to a friend's for Christmas Day Brunch - she puts on the most amazing spread - piles of profiteroles dripping with chocolate sauce are a particular favourite!!

Talking about "rips" - make sure you understand about NZ rips, or currents, they can be very vicious - there is a surf rescue club on Lyall Bay - get advice, if necessary, before you let your darlings loose on the surf! Do you know you can subscribe to a surf hotline which will alert you when "surf's up"

If Meg likes to swim, we definitely need to do our dog walk along Ngaio Gorge - loads of deep swimming holes in clean water - great way to exercise The Beautiful Bruno - I stand near a pile of sticks and he swims backwards... and forwards.... and backwards.. and...

Will do, Danny - good to hear from you! You wait ... when you're here, I'll have you out on those lawns....

Not sure I know who Orville is ... a yellow bird? Wellington colours are gold and black - does Orville have a black beak? Does he know the Haka?

My generation is more Sooty and Sweep .... but wait, Sooty was gold and black ... a sign, a sign!!

Well done you. Was the weather horrible or did the sun shine for you?
