- The train trip through the Ngaio Gorge; looking down steep, bush-covered slopes to the track through the park below where joggers jog and walkers walk and dogs are happy; glimpses of sparkling creek, and bridges.
- A long walk around the waterfront in the bright sun. A pair of English backpackers exclaim at the stingray churning past at their feet as they struggle to assemble roll-ups in the stiff breeze; a black swan bobs in the harbour, looking confused.
- I wonder what the little fat russet-throated sharp-beaked pair of birds sitting on the flax bush are until they both fly off, spreading forked tails, and I realise that they're swallows. Welcome Swallows, as it turns out.
- Golden Queen peaches in the supermarket! I thought they'd gone out of season but there was a big juicy pile of them at Countdown today.
