So, here we all are on the day. Trip to the beach again, this time in beautiful sunshine to play cricket, play in the surf and run around. Adults sat on bums and ate and drank. In the evening, it was time to move around the coast and snorkel. The clever ones found the paua to cook on the beach, for all others to try the taste, and otherwise eat the chips from the local chipper.
Play spot the face in the photo. How many can you name?

Christmas Eve rugby on the the beach
We went to the south coast to see a different view and play with the oval ball on the beach. That is the males in the contingent did, while others went straight to the cafe. The line up are smiling. This is after everyone had had their turn at drinking coffee and pop.
Kiwi Christmas Tree
Down south version of the Christmas tree, this one, in our garden has just gone into bloom.
Certainly better than the naff plastic thing in the lounge!
Henrik can smile too
To the Sounds
The Hacks on holiday in “Godzone” or “God’s own”.
Trip to the Marborough Sounds to see the beauty and in the end enjoy the cloud cover. All children completed the walk along the Charlotte Track, 15Km worth.
Half time whistle for the cricket season
So this morning was the last game of grade 10 for Joe until the resumption of hostilities in February, after possibly some intensive training.
Joe is an all rounder who is “solid”.
Just worked out his figures for proceedings so far.
Bowling; overs 14.3, runs 84 (includes 15 wides or No balls) Wickets 4, with an economy of 5.8
He has also been keeping wicket, no stumpings achieved but style marks reasonable.
Batting; 14 runs for 5 outs so average of 2.8, and strike rate of 17/100 balls. So needs some work on stroke play I would say.
However, his are not the worst figures-go team!
So rest now from Saturday mornings rushing around and being frazled in the sun. Time to work on Joe’s forward defensive and slow left arm spin.
The Three

The crew line up before the big event at St Ben’s Church Khandallah, where Joe became a senior member of the club
First Outings
This is the first attempt at blogging and plans are so far thin.
I am experimenting in leaving messages and information and photos for those who know use who may care.
