Wind and Whitebaiters.

 We have had lots of windy days at the moment. I feel we should have a kite to fly, although it might have been a bit much on Sunday. It was very windy.

Eddie spoke to a friend in Katikati on Sunday and he said it was so windy that when he was walking along the road with a friend they were leaning into the wind so much that, if it had stopped blowing they would have fallen down. They get strong winds there. They come over the Kaimai Range and dump down on Katikati. It’s called the Kaimai buster.  

I was in the office on Monday as Louise was shifting some of her things to Tauranga. She is going to be so gutted if the sale doesn’t go through in November and she has to move it all back again. When she is in America next week, we are going to be living in the little flat at the back. It’s the only part left with furniture in it. I will be the office girl for 18 days. By day 14 I will probably have had enough.

The photo is of a couple of hardy whitebaiters standing knee deep in water. Their legs must have been frozen. The river isn't that warm in the middle of summer.
