Last two days of the silly season holidays.. Yesterday we went for a long overdue visit to see my cousin Jeanette in Taupiri. pursuant with my new policy of getting to see as much of our local scenery as possible, we took a slightly more circituitous route than usual. This proved to be just as quick as going via the main road & we were rewarded with some extremely beautiful scenery & a complete lack of traffic which was wonderful. Anyway, it would be worth the traffic just to see Netty & Les. They number pretty high in my list of favourite rellies & it was great to catch up, see Sebastian, their grandson, & check on the growth of a kauri tree that my Dad gave them as a present some years ago.
But today .... Aaaah today..... One of those golden days to remember. Today the Moo got its first baptism of its current role in life. We used it to tow my boat to the ramp at Te Puru. Yes, Herself & I finally got a chance to get out fishing together. What a lovely day. We didnt catch any more than our tea, but hey, we certainly got heaps of bites. Herself hooked what we think was a fairly respectable Kingfish, but it broke off before we got a good look at it. We did get one quite spectacular leap out of the water from it though. Couple that with some really good Kahawai "boilups" all round the boat & you have a recipe for a perfect day. On the menu for tea tonight ? Fresh fish, homemade chips & eggs. As I said, it doesnt get much better than that.
