It finally feels like summer

I was going to open this post with some fantastically witty remark about how time flies when you're having fun / crazy busy etc. Then I realised it would sound pretty much like any other long delayed posting attempting a witty opening. To be honest my head isn't quite on straight so I'll change tactics while I'm not too far behind. Last night was not the best night for sleep so if I ramble or change thoughts mid stream you understand why.

After what has seemed like weeks of west coast type weather the sun has finally come out! And I look semi lobsterish already, such a lovely start to the season. Some family and I went for a long rambling bike ride on the weekend - hense the rosy hue and mozzie bites on my part. (As near as I can tell I was the only one afflicted with this). What really suprises me in this highly populated town is the lack of other people out doing the same. The paths were not totaly bare. We came across other people walking their dogs or riding their bikes but for the most part it was pretty quiet. The picnic areas were nearly deserted. So is everyone making a mad dash out of town after theses soggy weeks? Or are they indoors blissfully unaware as they attempt to master the next level on their x-box? Hmm... I'm thinking xbox probably doesn't have a hyphen which goes to show just how out of touch I am with the gaming industry in general. I expect the general exodus that comes at the start of June every year when we get flooded with tourists and visitors.

At least I can enjoy the paths and the parks without getting run over. And I will probably be doing that a lot more as the season progresses.
