SUNDAY

We are still not going to the gym.  Haven't got around to re-starting after lockdown.  A cloudy day, the thunderstorms have been removed from the forecast.  Doug's youngest daughter came for lunch and we had some curry flavoured sausages.  I prefer sausages to be "sausage flavour" but these were some given to us by Doug's nephew when he visited a few weeks ago and were very pleasant.  There are a couple more packs in the freezer, sweet chilli plum and spanish chorizo flavours.  I just got out the first one I came across.  The packs are a bit large for us so it was good having C. to share them with and there are enough for us for tomorrow as well.  She actually cam around to pick up the recently renovated rocking horse but it was good to have time for a catch up.

After she left, Doug took Sophie on a short stroll and I did our usual walk around the streets.  It started to drizzle but nothing much and now the sun is trying to shine.

I noticed this daffodil poking through a fence.  An early sign of spring.

Most of the roads in the north appear to be open now except for the Mangamuka Gorge which goes to the Kaitaia area where I used to live.  These are a couple of photos I got from Civil Defence of just a couple of slips.
