• Foggy Foxton

    July 8 in New Zealand ⋅ 🌧 12 °C

    It was a very cool and foggy start to the day, and it was sometime before it cleared away revealing an uncertain forecast. As it turned out we have had all seasons descend upon us.
    The original idea was to cycle to the beach but that was shelved because of the rain 🌧. That decision was made after our visit to the laundromat which for such a small town was extremely busy! I think because of the weather here, folk were doing their washing at home and bringing all to the dryers in the laundromat. We expected to be held up, but just when we needed a dryer, there was one available 😀.
    Once finished, the sun was shining which was a welcome change. We scrapped the cycling idea and decided to do our dumping instead which meant we would not be bothered by what happened over the next few days.
    It was lunchtime by the time this was all done, so we drove to the beach and stopped at Mr Grumpy's fish and chip shop to get some kumera chips. They are as good as the ones we try and get at Plimmerton, but sadly missed out this time down that way.
    We decided to stay on in Foxton another night in our FC spot as we couldn't see any gain in heading to our next proposed destination which is still under consideration.
    We had enough battery charging to get us to 100% today so the heater will definitely be going this evening 🙃.
