Overcast

I must confess to loving the grey windless humid misty overcast days we have had lately. I’m normally a lover of all things sunny and blue but today and yesterday the light just seemed different and its a little like autumn is on its way.

Watermelon

I just love watermelon. When I was a child we never had watermelon. It was this strange exotic fruit that people from america used to eat on TV — no doubt Seasame Street. I always wondered what it tasted like. I’m not sure if it wasn’t available in the supermarkets where I grew up or if it was too expensive or just that my parents didn’t like the taste of it, but we never ate it. I can’t remember the first time I tried it but I’m hooked now. On Saturday I went for a long run up Korokoro Stream. It was a hot day for Wellington. Afterwards I ate watermelon at home on the deck in the sun. Bliss.

Is this what hope looks like?
