I'm very grateful to whoever planted all these bulbs. These cheery blooms brought me so much joy.

Thrilled to see a couple of tūī not far from my house in Huntsbury. I’ve never seen them in Ōtautahi before. I stood and listened to them for about 10 minutes. Sorry - photo doesn’t do them justice.

Just finished Intermezzo. Loved it. Sally Rooney writes so beautifully about grief, love in all its forms, messy relationships, loss, and the human condition.

Received a voucher for Tussock Hill Winery in Huntsbury for a significant birthday last month, and dined there today on a beautiful Ōtautahi autumn day. The food was exquisite - as good as anything in Waipara, Waiheke or Central Otago. Highly recommended for a special occasion.

Update #2 I picked the first passion fruit today. They’ve taken ages to ripen. Still a way to go for most of them.

Akaroa - 90 minutes from Christchurch on Banks Peninsula. You can take a boat trip on the harbour and see Hectors Dolphins, and also visit the nearby stunning Fishermans Bay Garden.

We have this beauty right in front of our house in Ōtautahi. It blocks our view a bit, but when it's in flower, it's worth it!

Made the most of a fine day and biked to Sumner via the Heathcote Expressway (great cycleway) and then the Coastal Pathway. E bikes made short work of the Beastly Easterly headwind. Sumner was packed. Obligatory ice cream.
