Epic...

Well, I think Mother Nature was feeling a bit sorry for us here in Christchurch, so to compensate for the 1000 earthquakes we've had in the past three weeks (I am totally not kidding - we have had over one thousand now!!!), she decided to give us a double wammy of goodness this weekend - not only did we switch to daylight savings (I guess that's not really Mother Nature's doing, but hey..) but she also threw us a glorious Nor'wester. The combination of wind, warmth and sunshine made for two days of perfect drying weather (which laundry addicts such as myself go all giddy about).


Not only did I wash all the sheets and clothes etc, but I washed special things that don't get washed that often because they are near impossible to get dry without a dryer, like the mattress protector (is that gross? Am I the only one who doesn't wash mattress protectors every couple of weeks?), and jeans...so exciting.

And after a hard day in the garden yesterday, we treated ourselves to a Sunday drive in Matt's car today. Strapped the baby in the back seat and went to Lyttelton for coffee...


...then a stop at Rapaki - a small bay on the way to Governor's Bay...possibly my favourite place on that side of the Port Hills...


..such a stellar day, there were even some real live geese just hanging out by the water...



And because it felt like the day went on and on (oh how I love daylight savings) and I was feeling all summery (I think the temperature even went above 20 degrees!) I got on my bike - the first time since about February - and went down to our local fish and chip shop to grab some dinner for Matt and I.


I like what they've done with the sign on the window.

The perfect Sunday? Quite possibly.
