There is hope. Perhaps by Christmas the rain will have stopped. It’s dominating our lives and pinning us in.
Helen and I escaped for a bit yesterday and went shopping for some basics and a few Xmas gifts for our friends kids who are visiting on Xmas day. No surprises but we bumped into friends on the way. We’ve now decided not to sail down to Auckland for New Years, we’ll now drive down instead. We’ve booked 4 nights in a hotel in town which we can change if we need to. We’ll head straight on to the Roturua area after that. We’ll have time to take the boat out for a week or so before Ben and Sam return to the US mid-Jan.
Speaking of Sam, he should be sitting at the airport by now. This time tomorrow, we’ll be on our way to the airport to pick him up.
