We went to Ruakaka (just south of Whangarei) today and had beautiful weather. Very windy, but hot and sunny for most of the day, and a heavy short shower about 5pm. Temperature on the beach was 32 at 4pm. The water was warm too.

the day here in Canterburuy has been rather boring with 8/8 overcast and drizzle and cool temperatures. Today’s miminum temperatures for much of the day were in the daytime, this afternoon. We need sunshine for the plants. Had to light the fire this evening.

Reverse the 01 (January) for 10 (October), Better still have a little tick to the upper left of the 1 thus changing it to a 7 for July,thats what the weather resembles today.
