Yachting...
1 : 0 to the Swiss I'm afraid... seems that they do have a faster boat.... They won by 35 seconds but a win is a win. I'll have to stay up again tonight to see the second race . I don't want to see a trend developing here.... ! DH is snoring it off at the moment. He stayed up even later to watch the rugby game between NZ and Sth Africa...More lovely photos from Doris. Thank you . Don't they just brighten up the page ? The early settlers brought gorse over to NZ and farmers have been struggling to rid the country of it ever since.... not just golf balls that get lost in it, sheep do too !!!
Just returned home from enjoying a delicious Chinese meal. A Chinese young man, recently moved down from Auckland and joined our church. We have enjoyed his friendship and had him here several times. His parents are down this week and they wanted to take us out for a meal... Very nice it was too ! Our young friend had a busy time, talking in English to DH and I, Cantonese to his parents and Mandarin to the staff at the restaurant !! Clever boy !! We had invited the parents to spend a day with us here but they were fearful of driving on unsealed roads, as an alternative we suggested that their son brought them out after work for an evening meal but he didn't want to drive on roads without street lights !! I guess it's all about what you are used to !!!
Some rough weather down south , lots of snow and ice on the roads. Good for the ski-ing enthusiasts ! Warm and sunny here though the fresh snow on the Alps has lowered the night time temperatures..
Time to go.
