Week 5 Tuesday 29th January.

The heat from Australia has finally arrived here although, thankfully, not with the same intensity as over there.
It’s hot here, 28C, but because of the proximity to the sea we are escaping higher temperatures that they are experiencing further south. The house is above sea level and enjoys a breeze most of the day.
I think I have to say something about the New Zealand accent which still makes us laugh however often we visit here.
One of the first things we heard, at the airport, was “Would you please chickin at the disk”. Of course almost every house has a dick to sit on, sorry! If you are asked for a pin look for a writing implement not a sharp object. Clothing is hung on the line with pigs and there are tin green bottles. A pug is an animal that is not used to pun out the clothes and a fush is a marine creature. The list is endless!
