The weather here in Karori, didn’t look like it would evolve into much today, but luckily, we were proven wrong.  When we first got up in the morning, the winds were quite strong, and the clouds were quite dense; after looking at the forecast, we thought we were in for a pretty sour day.  Like so many other days here in Wellington, the day proved to be unpredictable.

After breakfast, we decided to take the dogs for an early walk into Wadestown.  During the ten minute drive from Karori to Wadestown, we noticed that the further along we went, the clearer the skies became.  By the time we got to Wadestown, the sky was pretty much blue, and fast moving clouds.  It was quite warm there as well.

After an hour long walk, we dropped the dogs off at home, and headed down to the Farmer’s market on the waterfront.  It wasn’t nearly as busy as it had been in the past, and there were fewer merchants as well.  We wanted to make a fruit crisp for dessert tonight, so we bought some mandarins, nectarines, strawberries, and some rhubarb.  After we had finished up at the Farmer’s market, we took another long walk along the waterfront.  All the while, the sun was getting warmer, and the sky was getting clearer.  By the time we arrived back at the car, the day had pretty much morphed into a spectacularly sunny day.

As it was quite warm out, when we got home, we decided not to cook a meal, but instead made a chickpea salad, with pita’s and tzatziki.  Dinner was quite easy, and quick, but it was a wonderful meal for such a warm day.

After dinner, we brought the dogs to Wadestown again for another walk.  We weren’t expecting too much from them, as they had already spent a long time in the sun, exercising, but they surprised us.  They made it through the entire walk without incident.  (Many times when Angus has had enough, he demands to be picked up).

When we got home from the walk, we decided to make the crisp, as the evening was settling in, and it wouldn’t be too bad to turn on the oven.  About half an hour later, the crisp was ready, and we ate it up, with vanilla yoghurt.  While it was cooking, and a little further into the evening, we watched a couple of episodes of the Tudors.  Not long after that we decided to head off to bed.

Not an exciting day, but a very relaxing and enjoyable day.
