Mr and Mrs Swimming Pool

After the euphoria of the last two days, it was back to a regular 'out of the clouds' day - good thing, otherwise the family won't get fed, washing doesn't get done...no concentration on anything serious! I had an orientation at the Timaru Herald where I will be temping next week (nothing glamorous - reception and answering a busy telephone) first thing in the morning, and then I was largely at home the rest of the day, other than a Subway lunch date with Nick. We had Leon, Magda and Lisa Swanepoel around to tea - shocking that it's taken nearly a whole year to do this!! Actually today marks a year since landing in NZ, so happy anniversary to us. It's been a big and busy year. Anyway, had a really lovely evening with the S's over mexican food (quite a drastic breakaway from the usual lasagna) and then as the evening was just so gorgeous - still and warm with just the right sort of clouds - we took a short walk to Dashing Rocks. My hat was totally off to Magda who had no problem clambering over the slippery rocks in her wedged sandals! I'm clumsy enough with sports shoes on.

What lovely scenery and places to walk to! Timaru is just the place for you.
