Beach Life

A day after earthquakes, Tsunami warnings and lockdown we rolled into a perfect weekend at the beach

A morning stroll to watch the sun rise on the last day of lockdown before our city moved to the freedom of Level two last Sunday.

This meant we could visit the grandbaby, go shopping and plan for a work week of traffic jams and activity!

Trudi met young Tyler Russell for a cuddle and we headed back to our home stays and home work places. Trudi was back to work as retailers could now open and I had a frantic week of work from home, day in office, meetings and dog sitting as Dan was back to work offsite! I think Floyd (dog) thinks my place is jail as he is so used to working with Dan.

Friday night rolled around none too soon, and I took myself (on bike) to my friends on the waterfront for Friday refreshments!

As the sun went down and the speights (beer) went down , we gazed out on our little world at Waiwera. After which I pedalled home (carefully) to eat and sleep!

Saturday was filled with community working bees, hanging curtains and home jobs culminating in a beer on Dans deck watching the America’s cup yacht racing.

George and another canine friend hanging out after dealing with bush weeds!

Sunday opened its eyes with blue skies….and a day to prepare for the week, the boring activities of food shopping, washing and cooking before settling in front of the TV for a dash of Rugby and more Yacht racing – if the wind decides to blow!
