Not wet, but throughly damp after my walk to Days Bay this morning. The ferry’s still running despite choppy weather. Some souls from Te Wai Pounamu have made it to Whanganui a Tara.

House sitting in Eastbourne. Experiencing what it’s like to get to work by walking along a beach and getting into a boat taking you straight to downtown Wellington. On a good day.

One of those songs that in retrospect marks the crossover from 70s to 80s. A friend a year older than me introduced me to it but one year made a lot of difference then. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGV...

Almost at Wellington airport. If you have a spare couple of hours it’s an entrancing walk from Thorndon. Proceeds saved on the bus fare will go towards chocolate.
