50/365: The good vs. The bad
The two leading ladies share a time of friendship during the prelude. Once the show starts it really is the good vs. Bad. Wonderful work swans vs girls.

49/365: Savouring the moment
In this moment I felt completely inspired by being part of the amazing season of Swan Song by Wet Hot Beauties. A real memorable moment and special part of the show. Will miss the troupe.

After a 3hr rehearsal this morning under grey sky, the weather lifted to produce a stellar afternoon. A trip out to Maraetai Beach was in order for more wharf jumping and burying the boys in sand. Magic moments!

This gull sits perched watching the small beach bay at Devonport and out into the Hauraki Gulf at the vessels going by as if he is keeping guard of his territory.

17/365: Let it flow
This lovely fountain is at the Parnell Baths in Auckland, NZ. This evening I had my first water dance practice for the year with the Wet Hot Beauties troupe. The weather was cool and showery but we were wet anyway! In the wind the water tumbled all over in random falls, it is beautiful.

16/365: Red 21
Back to my siren red shellac nails. The red is very bright for everyday wear but it's part of my Wet Hot Beauties dance persona.

14/365: Signs of summer
So it was an overcast day but warm and muggy in Auckland but that didn't stop us venturing up to Long Bay. The tide was out and despite small waves the boys enjoyed boogie boarding, playing in the creak and eating pizza on the beach.

13/365: Strawberry fare
Lucky to have a road side stall selling 3 punnets of strawberries for $5, so I got 12 punnets, hulled them all for freezing so I can make delicious smoothies. This one has banana, strawberry and bit of orange juice - yummy!

Today we took the dogs up to Orewa Beach for a swim with the boys in the little waves. It was so HOT! We had to seek shelter under a pohutukawa. Here's Poppy in the long grass watching the boys play. POPPY is a black mini schnauzer who is one year old.
