Time away

Joanne and I booked a bit of a holiday for ourselves today. In April we're going to drive up to Motueka in Abel Tasman by the inland route, have two days kayaking in Tasman Bay, before driving back to Chch by the coastal route, spending a night in Nelson and then a night in Kaikoura. I'm really excited about it. I've been wanting to do some ocean kayaking up there since we arrived and throwing in a bit of mountain scenery, the wineries of Marlborough, coastal scenery and some whale-watching means it should be a great five days.

So with Len & Val coming in a couple of weeks, Dad coming next month and the stuff I've got organised with him in Feb and March, Shirley & Tom coming in April and now this holiday it's going to be a pretty active few months. Oh, and Joanne's got a week in Oz visiting her sister on the Gold Coast in March too. We'll need a rest come May. Phew!

We're out to dinner tonight, at Simon & Rebekah's. It'll be good to catch up with them. It's been a while since we've had chance for more than a quick hello.
