I took the bus to Seatoun this afternoon, riding all the way to the end of the peninsular.
Richard will appreciate this information on Steeple Rock:
"Seatoun as a suburb looks out on to Steeple Rock, which is the largest rock of Barrett Reef at the west of the entrance to Wellington Harbour, rising 7 metres (23 ft) above sea level. Its Māori name is Te Aroaro-o-Kupe (The front of Kupe), after being officially changed on 3 September 2009 from Te Ure-o-Kupe (The penis of Kupe). Kupe, the legendary discoverer of Aotearoa, is said to have injured himself on the rock while swimming."

There's a nice beach walk by the Oruati Reserve along to Point Dorset. I took a few pics:
I like the wit of the person who tied the seahorse to a hitching post. Nice that.
I only walked about 4 kilometres as, ever parsimonious, I had to get back to the bus stop before 3PM to take advantage of the free bus fare (also I didn't have any coins to pay if I couldn't use my Gold Card).
Back home I sorted out some wine for when Geoff comes around for an after-work drink. I selected Bell Hill Pinot Noir. Maybe Richard can advise whether I should serve it chilled or not.

Well, chilling will hide any little problems. I'd advise it.
Thanks. That confirms my choice - room temperature.
Think before you act. Geoff might not notice the slightly cold bottle, then you're away. If he does, blame the southerly. Get Lynn to back up your statements - she's obviously smarter than you. She must have been in 3O (O comes before P) back in the day.
