No ballet in this Tutu

The good ship Irrepressible

After my temporary visa was approved by the Tutukaka Thinking Men's Drinking Club (an oxymoron if ever I heard one) - agenda item: flying visit by Doreen's sister-in-law - I made my way north of Auckland to the delightful principality of Tutukaka. It seems no time at all ago that I was here (I hear John on my shoulder confirming that). The weather has been variable but I've got a good book and when I can't get outside, it's been lovely lazing inside helping Doreen with the family tree and reading.
