Well at least we got out for a walk in the morning before the heavens opened. One advantage of having a dog - Michelle not us, that would be irresponsible bringing a dog with us! - is that you have to go out come rain or shine. As it was another fabulous meander in the forests around Mount Seymour - trees covered in moss (a clue to the rainfall!), low mist hanging in the valleys, and even some tracks on a Sunday, this close the city, on which there were few people (although that might say more about the weather than the proximity to the city).
Anyway a fine morning was had by all and then if got better. What do do on a wet Sunday afternoon - of course a long lunch with friends. Joined by Michelle's sister Cari and her friend Marlene we got through a bunch of bread, cheese, antipasti and of course wine. This is doing nothing for my jet lag and a snooze is virtually inevitable.
I discover later that Michelle and Nareesa had a bet on who would talk the most - me or Cari. I am honoured to say they bet on Cari. And less honoured to say they both lost their bet!!
As usual I forgot to take any pictures so no silly selfie of me and the audience - (sorry, I mean four women).
Not one of my more erudite blogs - nor interesting I hear you say. But they can't all be Pulitzer prize winning! And if nothing else writing is keeping me awake! (Probably the opposite for everyone else)
Enough for now, a curry to be cooked and more wine to be consumed. And see if we can stay up till 10pm!
Can't really capture the atmosphere of the forest but here's the best I can do.
Nareesa contemplating a fallen tree - the ground has already swallowed up the trunk - just the roots to go.
There be woodpeckers in here.
The mist hanging in the trees. Well I could see it!
