After a big day out yesterday today was a stay-at-home day, but in the best way possible. Apart from catching up on emails and a long interesting Skype to Quique, I went for my first swim outside my home in Little Karaka Bay. It was cool, refreshing and absolutely marvellous. I need to do it everyday the weather is warm, it was so good.
As well tonight I accepted a kind invitation from Eckist friends Harry and lovely wife Coruna to dinner. David was to pick me up at five but was late in peak hour, so we eventually arrived after six at Harry's in the deep suburbs, but what a find! Deep green mountains and a large gracious home. Having brought up two successful children they are now living alone in their mountain retreat. Their one boy, a top medical specialist in Melbourne, is married to a statuesque blonde lawyer, and their daughter is also in Australia. Such is the fate of a successful Indian couple in New Zealand. We had a beautiful dinner, with much fun and laughter and home at nine for an eariy night.
These people emigrated to NZ and made such a good life here, but in the process have lost their kids to Australia. I really don't know how they feel, but Harry is a strong ECKist so he is always happy in service to his wife.
The Australian Open tennis is on so I ring Hazel to get the results, she is bored but well.
Harry a young vibrant 75 y.o.!
They grow wonderful garlic
