Mornington Cresent!

This blog is a little late, sorry folks.

We actually got our lie in yesterday and pretty much noodled about for the morning. We decided to take the ferry over to Devonport which is a surprisingly sleepy little town considering its just over the water to Auckland. They have two volcanoes in the town centre, which Nik insists on referring to as "Bijou Volcanoettes with Sea Views". They almost qualify as mole hills now to be fair, and the army did a good job of making them smaller by redesigning them as gun enplacements during the war. Faye got to look at war type stuff so she was happy.

It was a lovely unrushed day and the reason the blog was late is because we got onto the subject of "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" and the rules of Mornington Cresent. So we decided to have a quick game to explain the rules to me. Penny won but hadn't realised it and after declaring mornington cresent went on to declare a pandemic and forfeitted the game. Which just goes to show what kind of an evening we were having. She eventually claimed pregnancy as her defence and scuttled off to pack for this evening.

Tonight its Coromandel, and apparently lots of rain. But I hear Cornwall is flooded and the rest of the country is expecting snow, so our warm 25 degree summer rain should be a walk in the park, which coincidentally is where we are off to in a little while.

Love you all

Tui and Kiwi
