WHAT a glorious day off I'm having.
It's an absolute stunner of a hot day in Otautāhi, I had a very fine sleep in, full-body exfoliating shower, changed the sheets, hung lots of washing outside, biked up to my parents', stopped in to my brother's and the biked around Opawa & back home. About 15kms!

Today I've eaten my lunch at Beach Grove in Kaiapoi at the GH show home there.
Mexican Chicken Salad: baby spinach, bbq'd chicken, black beans, corn, radishes, red capsicum, red onion, cucumber, coriander, jalapeños, cumin, olive oil, lemon juice.
A very good time was had by my taste buds.

I used to wear mostly black, but then I spent 8 years selling retirement living and the residents gave me so much shit I moved to loads of colour! Mostly bright and jewel-tones to wear, patterns rarely.
My fave colour is the milky teal of the Central Otago canals and hydro lakes. 😍
