Good Morning Everybody!
Have you been to Aunt Daisy's Boathouse cafe yet?
Martha did and thought it "tres awesome" - her franglish, not mine.
If you haven't visited the charming 1950s-style tearooms in Titahi bay yet, perhaps you need a mid-winter weekend of music to tempt you? As if the sea views, Supreme Coffee and kids' playground weren't enough, Aunt Daisy is popping the mulled wine on to heat and putting some live music on the boil from 4pm this Fri/Sat/Sun. Kids get in free and grown-ups can fork over a mere $7 for sweet sounds the likes of Rosy Tin Teacaddy, Achilles Botes and Jess Chambers. Go here for more details.
The only sane answer to this insane windy weather, I think!
What's so insane about the windy weather anyway?. Sunday was beautiful. Trying to stand on top of Mt. Vic without chaining yourself on to the fence for support was awesome. Next time go get yourself some thermals and witness gangs of sparrows surfing the gusts without using their wings. Never ever saw that before. True heroes!
As soon as I hit publish I did think to myself "what do you mean insane wind? This is Wellington, girl!"
And wind-surfing sparrows? That sounds incredible!
Hmm, maybe more like "Body Flying" or "Birds on Breasts"?
No, hang on!
You're right!
How can a gust be a surf?
So how about:
"Gusting" Sparrows?
Hihi


I'm not even sure I've been to Titahi Bay!
