Eight Days of Happiness - Day Five and Day Six

Ahem. Unfortunately I did not post yesterday for my Eight Days of Happiness meme, because I was up late entertaining our guests, Chris and Tarns. Made me quite happy to see them, and have dinner with them. It was a good evening, and I didn't even keel over from watching Australian Idol, shockingly enough.

Today's happy event was riding with Alan up to Peka Peka beach, and straight ahead where we drove on to the beach, there was a whale. It was probably a pilot whale, and quite possibly the very same whale that caused a huge traffic jam last night as it swam past Pukerua Bay and everyone and their dog had to stop and have a stare.

We were a bit worried about how close he was to the beach, given that the water is actually quite shallow for quite a ways on the beach, but as the tide receded I guess he must have swum out with it, because he wasn't there when we left the beach a couple hours later. This is good. I didn't want there to be a beached whale fracas...

And the weather has been great lately. This also makes me happy.

Fin.
