The Big Storm

Today we were hit with the worst storm of the decade with very high winds and buckets of rain. We heeded advice to stay indoors, but found these photos on the internet of the sea near to us to show how bad it was. This is a view to Murrays Bay wharf a few bays south of us down the east coast.


Whilst this is just down the road at Browns Bay, normally a very calm beach! Fortunately the worst has passed and we, and the house, survived unscathed.

Heroes & Villains

This evening was the Computershare mid winter function which was themed Heroes and Villains, with fantastic catering from a local Indian restaurant. Royston and I decided to go as Nottingham's famous heroes Robin Hood and Maid Marian.





There was a wide variety of costumes - Craig and Jo came as "Cow Boy" and Batgirl.





Royston then decided to go for the Scandanavian Robin Hood look...

Fishing at North Head

An early start this morning to go fishing with Paul at North Head and we were rewarded with a fantastic sunrise and views over to Rangitoto.







Unfortunately no fish this week...






...maybe we will catch the elusive snapper next time.
