Boxing Day relaxation. Run around the lake this afternoon. Needed to move after all the food and drink yesterday. It was a bit moody down there today… threatening rain and swirling wind.

A day working with inspiring teachers again. Today I was in Taupō. Got ready to go for a run at the end of the day to find I had left my shoes at home! Went for a swim instead. A tad chilly but refreshing and beautiful – swimming with ducks!

A bike ride this afternoon- low impact training to help assuage my hip! Lovely light on the Waikato river. As well as the ducks and the flowing river, drones now seem to be part of the landscape.
Day 52 February 21st 2016
The day started with bathing alternately in the hot water stream at Spa Park and the cold water of the river. Great for our tired muscles. But today’s photo is at one of our regular haunts in the Tron. Lake Rotoroa is home to plenty of very well fed ducks! I spotted these as Nigel and I walked twice round the lake. Our boys have outgrown taking bread to ducks but there is no shortage of donors on a sunny Sunday afternoon. The funniest thing happened a couple of minutes after this shot when one duck snatched a whole piece of bread and broke away from the group waddling rapidly with two more ducks in hot pursuit quacking loudly!
