We had such a beautiful sunset last night, changing so fast... imagine it just a wee bit more pink on the very bright bits, and a bit less bright.....
And at 7am this morning, the mist had flowed down off the heights of Bushey Park on the opposite side of the valley and joined with the river mist....and by 8am was gone and it was sunny!!
Then it clouded over and we had heavy showers with thunder over lunch...Pirate gave up and went for a nap.
I started reading the book that I won in a Secret Santa, at a cycling group's Christmas party...
The Big Loop, Biking Coastal New Zealand, by Dunc Wilson. Says exactly what he did!!
That was done in August 2015...and is a very good read.
No, change that to an afternoon sleep! So he missed the weather window, and we started fettling the bikes anyway, in the shelter of the car tailgate. It was only light showers by then!
It being warm and wet, and under the Pohutukawa trees...the clegs came out and started biting!!! At least my bike is now ok, I have new pedals and cleats. Just pedals to go on Pirate's borrowed bike..but as we were being eaten alive we beat a hasty retreat!!

You're in the summer season now, hope you're enjoying the longer nights.

I'm not sure what a cleg is but that doesn't sound good!
Hugs on the clegs. We call them bulldogs here and they are terrors. However it's in the -30s here so no worries. Not biking weather either with all the snow and ice. I enjoy reading your blog.
