Across the ditch...

About to have my last meeting for a couple of weeks as I head over to NZ tomorrow morning for a bit of combined mistress maintenance (Kalai) and relaxation.  Pity the weather has decided to become Winter this week with heavy rain forecast for Friday in the Shaky Isles...

Hope to do some reading, reflection and writing while I am there.  A good chance I will be able to go 'Coastal' later next week if the work on the yacht is completed.  New prop is due to be fitted on Tuesday and then should be able to get her back in the water.

Am taking a fair amount of gear over including some new washboards and fittings for replacement scuppers - hoping my measurements are accurate!

Am also taking my beloved Olympus camera to try and practice what I have learned these past couple of months in the photography course - hopefully we shall both stay dry.

Must go and put the dinner on - sausage casserole sounds like the right kind of comfort food on this wintry night.
