today was a public holiday to celebrate Waitangi Day
so we took Pearl for a walk on Muriwai.
dogs can run free on much of the beach
so once we were confident Pearl wouldn’t run away, we let her off her leash.
there were loads of black Labradors on the beach so she had lots of fun
the girls had a giant ice-cream on the way back (pictures below)
then esther was out at tennis then her church youth group
the church group were meant to be meeting at the beach but there was a tsunami warning which thankfully amounted to nothing, but meant they changed venue for their barbeque so that was all good
meanwhile kezia and i went to the shops for a wander round the sales (a successful trip in that she came back with only slightly less than she went with!)
then this evening i’ve been fiddling about with the pool trying to change a light bulb and doing some cleaning
as you can see the gorgeous weather is back after 2 days of rain. just how we like it!
