Crank up the Barbie

You know the warmer weather has come when it's time once again to clean and cook up on the BBQ.

The sunny weekend was topped off by a meal prepared by Jo and cooked by Alice of homemade meat patties, potatoes and fresh salad and bread. Much appreciated after the Old Dark beer at the Waterfront.

Sunny Sunday

Yes folks it's official, the sun has come to Kapiti. I think we have Kevin and Ruth to thank for that as they said they would send some from Mexico. Apparently they have an over abundance of it.

A hectic week of work and very little play has made me a rather dull boy.

However today has been one out of the box.

It started with a trip to Otaki for their annual triathlon. Alice our youngest won the race again this year outright in the women's section at the tender age of 15. A full report will be given when I can work on the computer without Alice around to forbid it happening.

I had a pleasant ride home with a gentle tail wind. After mending a few tyre tubes that I had neglected for a few weeks Jo and I decided to walk down to our local for a well needed drink.
