Time flies..

“Life's under no obligation to give us what we expect.”
Good Morning World... Mon 18th, 6.31, 8dg, expected high 22dg. Out my window this morning is a beautiful clear Wanaka summer's day dawning... the weather has been so marvellous since we have been here.. I have a daughter with a lot of red on her from all the walking we are doing. The last couple of days have been a hive of activity, starting with a delicious meal with friends on Saturday which required me to go cross country via the paddocks to get there... perfect, but coming back was the challenge without the moon on bumpy terrain and dare I say a tad worse for wear. Nuff said. I took the long way around on the road , cautious rabbit that I am. Sunday we did a small celebration here at our dining table after aperitivos with friends, and it was a happy afternoon evening catching up on all the years since I have been gone. Wanaka itself has grown and blown at the seams, a lot of the new areas of necessity I have not walked to and looked at as yet, but just maybe before we leave. It is a bright bustling place hospitality wise so that gives the town a very busy feel... lakefront especially. Time is absolutely galloping by, we have been in Wanaka a week already... hmmm. Today we will do a little shade for some, me, I am sun toughened, but she will have to have long sleeves. The weather has been sufficiently hot enough in the afternoons when we get back from Mum's that yesterday we created a paddling pool on the terrasse with the washing basket... perfect
