This has been a most satisfying Christmas day. This morning I went for a leisurely kayak around the Cable Bay esturay on a particulary high tide (4.8m).
Then home for a late, light, lunch before packing my kites and buggy in the car for a blast around the sand flats at Wakapuaka. I had to test out my Christmas present to myself; an extra long (1.4m), extra strong, back axle for my buggy. My kite buggy now has a slightly wider wheelbase than my car! This gives me heaps of extra stability at high speeds and gets rid of those speed wobbles.
After buggy testing for an hour or so it was on to my sisters house for Christmas dinner with the whole family and exchanging of gifts. The whirly-gigs and glow-in-the-dark parachute men went down well with my nephews, and the pink/green/orange striped knee-high socks with ten toes and a smiley face stiched on each digit, and glittery stickers books were a hit with the neices, so that kind of made my day :)
I hope you all had as nice a Christmas as I did.
