New Years Eve

Looking dangerous, Sue mixes up a cocktail for New Years Eve drinks. This is the last photo for the year. Posting a photo or sometimes 2 each day has been a challenge but it has been fun. Thanks to all the people who I swooped upon with my camera for that shot of the day.  Without you that day would not have been the same!

Boys relaxing

Flood

Went up to the Rakaia Gorge this morning to check out the river after all the heavy rain yesterday. Quite a lot of traffic diverted from State Highway 1 which was closed.

Rain

Don't need to water today. Even the down pipe can't cope. We were going to go to Hororata for a golf tournament but decided to settle in with a book instead.

Green grass

Got to keep the watering up to keep your lawn looking great or it will end up looking like the one up the road.

Boxing day golf

Not a big field today, in fact we just managed to get the required 16 players to make it an official competition. Played an African Stableford and turned out to be a very social afternoon.

Xmas Day

A very pleasant and relaxed Xmas day at Wendy and Peters place. Wendy and her sister Mary Anne on the BBQ cooking up whitebait and garlic prawns to go with the ham and cold boneless turkey and all the the other wonderful food.  What a feast
