jane and the girls went to the botanical gardens today with ‘the gang’.  they had a great time.

the weather forecast had promised thunder and rain for the last two days but instead we’ve had two really hot sunny days.  which has been lovely

so we decided to head to the beach after work for a float and a picnic.  it ended up being quite cold when we got there due to the wind so i didn’t go in.

and then we all shivered eating our picnic in our beach chairs watching this giant cruise ship go by in front of Rangitoto
