8th and 9th January 2011

Saturday slipped away from me in trying to catch up on lost sleep, but Mark and Finn made the best of it. Some fishing, ski-biscuiting and generally enjoying being on and in the water with the McNeices filled in their morning.

They made it home for a BBQ lunch and Finn was straight into a new library book. He started reading it right where I handed it to him - sitting on a table on the back deck.

Nick came for a sleepover and the boys enjoyed each other's company very much. They played all kinds of computer games, watched movies and gave the table soccer a workout. It was lovely to see them together.

The flowers on the New Zealand flax have been attracting birds for a couple of weeks now. After heavy rain on Saturday night they were weighed down enough for me to get a closer look.

Mark headed off on Sunday morning for a trip the highlands. He saw lots of fish and even had a couple that got away so he came back a fish-less but very happy man.
