Summer Finally Arrive

Today, it is a warm 26 degrees Celcius signaling the start of the long awaited summer. It has been an exceptionally cold summer so far and people are still wearing winter clothes up until today at least. We have been playing lots of sports though including soccer, cricket and go for swims at the local indoor swimming pool. This Saturday, we are going to Himatangi beach to enjoy the "Big Dig Out" where people pay $2 to have the chance to dig tokens buried in the sands to win prizes.
