It's so easy to feel smug sitting in the caravan looking out at the rain! But I'd hate to be one of the many families here who spent all yesterday pitching their tents in the lovely weather, and have laid in bed all night listening to it bucket down!
Thanks goodness for the advent of low-priced gazebos - at least they have a bit of space outside their tents so they're not all cooped up in that nasty, murky, fugginess that tents become when it's warm and wet outside!
And the long-range forecast doesn't look too flash either - but we're perfectly happy here in our apartment on wheels.
We'd bugger off to somewhere with a sunny forecast, but one day this week I have to take a quick trip to Auckland to get some work stuff out of the way, so we need to stay close to Wellington till that's done.
But who cares? Not us, we're having the time of our lives!
Yesterday, we had a great couple of hours out in the kayaks. Of course I didn't put quite enough sunblock on - the bottom half of my shins are a bit burnt (sort of the reverse version of a sock tan) with these odd white stripes on them where the leg straps from the kayak were. It was so lovely and peaceful out there on the water - not to mention all that great building up of shoulder and arm muscles!
Have trained pretty well since Christmas. Boxing Day I did a 3km walk/run in the morning and then Craig and I biked the trails in the afternoon. The next day was wet but I still did 12km road training on the bike. Yesterday I figured the kayak trip was plenty of exercise but went for a quick swim in the evening as well - first sea swim this summer! Didn't managed to tempt Craig in though.
