SUNDAY

He're a few snaps of last Sunday when we went out for some lunch. These piccies are from a place called Devonport which is about a 10 min drive from our house. Its a little seaside resort just on the opposite side of AKL City with amazing views. Its really nice to sit on the beach watching people sailing about in their yachts. We're hoping maybe next year (if we're good!!) santa will bring us one too!!

The weather on this day was awesome but we've still not got into the habit of wearing sun protection. Whilst its not very hot (about 22 on this day) the sun's strength is severe due to the hole in the ozone layer above NZ - you can actually feel it penetrating your skin. We've been given loads of advice about always wearing cream or else covering up. As Ray is working outside all day he readily comes home looking like a frazzled beetroot!!

The weather however does not always look like this and later today the weather broke and for the rest of the week its been very very wet and windy. We're getting really fed up with the wind because we want to get out there but we can't for fear of being blown away. The Kiwi's tell us that by Jan we should have wall to wall sunshine till about April - if you want to visit - get over here now!!
