Unlike Auckland, Canterbury has been starved of rain this summer. I wish it would stop raining in the far north and we could have a fraction of it here.
It’s high summer in New Zealand (February is equivalent to August in England) and Molly and I have been enjoying some hot weather (In the high 20s). We have been going down to the harbour at least once, sometimes twice a day. She swims next to me, or slightly ahead and we stay in for about 10 minutes. It is really very sweet. And then she still wants to chase the tennis balls that I throw in the water. Indefatigable.
