Morning walks around the lake have resumed now that hockey training has started again. Think it’s going to be a bit hit and miss this term with all the travelling I’ll be doing so I’ll make the most of them when I can. I looked out for the spoonbills where I saw them last week but they have moved to the other side of the lake. Fast asleep too at 7.15! Lazy!
Started the day listening to the Anzac ceremony on RadioNz, then coffee and churros with Las Chicas. In the afternoon a good walk up to the tallest Kahikatea Tree in New Zealand on the Kaniwhaniwha Trails with Nigel and Gus. A great day all round.
Even managed a walk into Ham East for lunch at the Grey Gardens cafe with my big son. Autumn definitely here but it’s still warm. Don’t you just love how chestnuts fit so perfectly and then burst open…

Leap Day! Not sure I have heard it called that before but today there was a whole feature about “Leap Day” on the radio. Traditionally it is the day when a woman can ask a man to marry them – I did just that 16 yrs ago today! But today’s photo is nothing to do with that!
Another walk around Lake Rotoroa in the centre of Hamilton and I came across this wee fellow;
A busy work day today but I made time to go out and smell the roses in the garden. Ok, this is not a rose and it has no scent but it is stunning!
Not much to choose from today – a day spent at the computer working. But as I sit in my office with the sliding doors open I am serenaded by the chatter of birds and cicadas. I am not very good at the whole standing every twenty minutes and moving around especially when I am engrossed in a job. I tend to want to just get it done. However, when the heat is sweltering and I realise I have been hunched over for a while and I am distracted by a new bird call, I get up to have a look. Two little wax eyes flit around in the tree. Unfortunately too quick to snap them but as I stand under the tree something flashes past my face and lands on the tree in front of me. Beautiful
A long day at the computer today and I had a little workmate!
