Caught a (very) brief taste of summer over the Christmas/New Year break when I headed back up to Auckland for two weeks and then down to Tauranga/Mount Maunganui for a few days before heading back down to grey and cold Wellington...
Christmas was preceded by a fabulous Nativity party (cheers Julian St!) where Spotlight came to the rescue and provided all I needed for a 'manger' costume (photo is of Nicola as Mary and me as the manger...). I ended up shedding wood wool all over the floor so that tarpaulin came in handy for more than one reason...
Was at the Mount for the half Ironman where Adrian came a great 64th out of 580 competitors in a time of 4h45m (even just pipped Nige). Was lovely sunny weather (that's the moon still over the Mount at 6.30am) and lots of sweaty bodies in lycra - everything you could want really! ;-)

Christmas itself was just a family dinner and then for the next couple of weeks spent most of my time hanging out with everyone who hadn't joined the mass exodus out of Auckland.
