Cloudy WellingtonCloudy WellingtonCloudy Wellington

A view from the Botanic Gardens
Today's weather is almost perfect. And so was yesterday's. And so was Saturday's. Has the world gone mad? Yes, it is still frightfully cold and a wee bit windy, but sunshine in Wellington for three days solid is unbelievable!

For the past three days Boz (who some of you know as Warwick) came to stay. We went to the zoo, braved Friday's small hailstorm, went to Te Papa (the national museum), avoided the rugby, and generally had fun... I am too lazy to write about it all, especially since I have so much housework! Oh, how messy can one houseguest be? So here are some pictures instead.

Love,

Sarah

See! I am tall! Clearly a height measurement taken by a nurse is nothing compared to one at the giraffe enclosure at the zoo!

This was after Boz left. I have a thing with taking photos of boats. It was really nice and really cold down near the harbour at 7:30am!
