… lazy. But when you’ve been struck by a lurgy, whether the one your husband took up north to visit Charlie and her parents, or whether it was the one that Charlie’s dad was suffering with when we got there, writing isn’t easy.
Fortunately, the seven hour drive home (the husband had flown home earlier to work) occurred before the lurgy struck, and I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I stopped frequently, extending my travelling time by an hour or so. There was a minor hiccup when I thought I’d lost my prescription glasses, but after a period of panicking and desperate hunting and retracing my steps – extending my trip for a further hour – some kind shop owner had found them and kept them for me. But otherwise, there was just me, the road, our stunning scenery, and National Radio keeping me company.
A picture might not be worth a thousand words, but it’s #MicroblogMonday, so I don’t need a thousand words anyway. Still, here are some photos:
Wonderful photos – loving the timewarp – is there a Charlie in there?!
Sorry about the lurgy. Hope the sunshine is helping.

Yes. Charlie is the one with her “knees in tight” and hair all over her face.

Do I tell you often enough how much I love your country? These pictures bring back memories of my last trip, where I did a part of the Tongariro crossing. Wondering if I will make it back there!

Very pretty. Warm enough to go in the water or still sort of cold?

Still cold – the photos of the snow on the volcanoes was taken not far from the lake. And In fact, Lake Taupo is always cold, though plenty of people will go in the water over the summer holidays. And right now, in November, we’re in that volatile period where it can feel like mid-summer one day, and winter the next. Today it’s summer, thankfully!
