  A pinch and a pat on the back for the first of the last month! The countdown is definitely on with Christmas looming, the New Year as well and sooo many jobs still to get done. I might have to put them into 2018’s file! I hope your plans for the holiday season are coming along and they don’t depend totally on the weather. Here we are on the last day for senior exams, so it’s holiday time for lots. There are the brave bods already swimming, others getting some tan lines with the sunshine be... Read more »

• Update December 8

  I’m starting to see a build towards summer, holidays, Christmas, another year … and so little time! We’ll get there, just pace yourself. It’s exciting to see the change of weather and attitude at the same time, or is it just me? It’s great to see people outdoors enjoying what is easy to take for granted. The water’s warm, sunscreen goes without saying and keeping up the liquid intake’s important. There’s plenty on over summer and there’ll be time to relax too. Santa on the othe... Read more »

Mid to high 20’s on the thermometer through the week really has set the scene for summer.

• Update January 12

  What a difference a week can make, and even just two days there can be massive changes as we saw last week with the storm and after effects around the country, and in particular the Coromandel and Hauraki districts. That’s when you see the best come out in people, lending a hand, offering a place to stay and keeping in touch with neighbours and even folk they don’t know. Unfortunately, occasionally there is one or two who take advantage and ransack those who are already suffering flooding an... Read more »

• Update January 18

  Muggy, it’s a wonderful word, and it’s been on a few lips lately. Throw in sticky, moist and humid and I think we’ve got it covered. A slightly later sunrise and a little earlier the sunsets has me thinking to take advantage of the outdoors as much as possible. I’m catching up with family who live in Perth at the moment, now that’s hot! NCEA results are out and schools are in late this month or early in February. Over half of the month is behind us already; it’s amazing how fast it f... Read more »
