A little summer review



Porter at the beach jumping like a jumping bean. Or something that jumps higher than a bean. Man can he fly! He loves fetching the ball and doesn't ever stop trying to get you to play with him.


Yummy summer salads after the crop swap!


Extra fish that a workmate of Dustin caught and dropped off for us. Bluefin tuna. It was delicious as sushi!


Stone carving symposium they hold on the coastal walkway. The work people do is incredible. They set up for a month and carve it beside the sea and then there's an auction. Unfortunately big expensive art is not on our current shopping list but maybe one day!




A summer concert at the winery down the coast. A friend's band was playing and he got us VIP tickets! Woo.




Then in early February we headed back to the Kai fest. No food photos funnily enough. The best was the first picks of the day: creamed paua with fry bread. I missed out on the watermelon ice cream sundaes though, they were sold out by the time I went for one!




So just a few summer activities we've done.

They were playing Canterbury who are now behind them by one place in the rankings. We had fun and managed to walk there and back without catching any of the rain. The steam-breathing drivable mascot I don't think the photo does justice to just how much it was raining! Line out Go the 'Naki! (They are the yellow and black team.)

Not for the squeamish

Well the long hours of work and planning and helping friends demo sheds and paper shuffling and biking and cooking and eating and cleaning have caught up with us and Dustin has relinquished his right to tell his story from last week. **Note, the pictures are gross so beware if you are a little faint seeing blood... So, last Friday I had worked the early shift and was back at home on a call with a virtual assisting client, so naturally my mobile was on silent, and as soon as I hung up, the home phone rang. (This is a phone that only people who have had a part in giving birth to one of us tend to use... that and wrong numbers, we get a surprising number of wrong numbers...) Anyways when Dustin's voice was on the other end the confusion began. "Hi, I'm at the hospital. Come here now." "What happened??" "I'm fine. Just come up here." (Wheels spinning in my head...) "Are you sure? I think it will take me too long to bike because I
