We are spending a quiet day today here at Terry's house which is really lovely She was so lucky to have found it when she moved here to the Kapiti Coast from Auckland last August:

I woke up this morning feeling absolutely fine - not tired or jet-lagged at all. It did hit me last evening and I went to bed at 7.30pm and slept through until around 5.30am this morning.

We spent the morning having a walk along the lovely beach here at Waikanae:

Kapiti Island (a wildlife reserve) is on the right, and way in the distance ahead I could see the mountains of South Island although it is not clear in this small photograph. We then went to the local shops in Waikanae where I am pleased to report that Woolworths is alive and well - albeit a supermarket and not like the 'Woolies' we had before it's sad demise.
