Appreciating those sunny winter days...

Yesterday was one of those gorgeous, blue-sky days, but where the breeze was a quite chilly if you were in it.

The day started off with Simon walking the kids to school, and I stayed home and wiped the dripping condensation from the windows. I think one of those moisture systems would be quite nice at times like this! When I was younger I didn't realise that windows/houses benefited from being wiped down in the morning (I thought people did it to look good lol). Since we've had some heavy rain for days on end, I was needing to set up the drying racks inside the house to get our clothes dry - adding to the moisture in the morning! One benefit of wiping down the windows in the morning is that my windows remain clean throughout winter haha.

We then got out in the garden for further cleaning up, and then caught up on airing out, folding and hanging out more washing.

The afternoon was one of relaxation on my part (lying on my bed in the sun with a cuppa and a book), while Simon felt a bit more energetic and went out for a training ride for 1.5hrs.

While Simon picked the kids up from school, I thought I'd have a little afternoon tea all prepared for them on their return. It's not often that can happen since I'm the one collecting them!

I was sad to hear that our poor old Christchurch was hit with another 2 large aftershocks that had more buildings collapsing, streets seeping liquifaction, and people injured. :( When will it end?
