It was about 19 degrees out on the deck at lunchtime today. Not bad in deep mid-winter. It was a gloriously sunny day too. We had all the doors in the house open as there was no breeze.
I expect you northern hemispherers are the same as you enjoy your longest days!
They have been cutting grass for silage over the last few weeks and sending it over to the Waikato to help out the drought stricken dairy farmers there. Imagine cutting grass for silage at Christmas in Northern Ireland!!!!

Thursday 19th June - shoulder update
Just in case you are wondering, I have stopped using the sling on my arm. It is a bit restrictive and the shoulder is lots better. I still get pain in it sometimes but hopefully that will go away.
Funny / strange thing is that my shoulder now clicks sometimes when I move my arm.... I hope that goes away too!!!!
Thank you to all those who have written, phoned, texted and emailed over the last few weeks. It is good to know friends are still out there and keeping up to date with our adventures.

Saturday 7th June - Irish in town
I stayed this weekend in Wellington. R & J are down for the weekend.
New Zealand are playing the Irish rugby team on Saturday evening. The Irish supporters come out in force to support their team. Tommy Bowe nearly scored a superb try.
It is a surprisingly close game despite the poor weather. I think New Zealand are lucky to win.
On Sunday we see the Rimutaka hills coated in snow and realise it really was that cold last night!

Saturday 31st May... a Golden weekend
Jim and Jean are celebrating their Golden Wedding anniversary this weekend.
We have been invited up for the weekend. The family get-together is on Saturday afternoon in Cambridge. A great opportunity to see some relatives we have not seen in a year and some new ones we have not met before!
We are staying with Archie and Mary for the weekend.
Monday is a public holiday. Queens Birthday weekend... Australia and New Zealand celebrate the Queens Birthday with a holiday.
