Grapefruit and Peaches

Sorry it has been a while since my last post, maybe cause I haven't done a whole lot extraordinary the past few weeks, or maybe cause I have been lazy. Probably some of both. This past Sunday I visited a local market, there was heaps of different things, from plant pots, to socks, to fruit, to pearls. It was a nice day, and I spent some time (and money) there relaxing after a paddle. Arriving home at my flat, the neighboor across the street had set out 5 or 6 boxes full of grapefruit. He was in the yard at the time so I had a talk with him. I guess he has 13 trees in his backyard so he ends up with way more fruit than he can possibly eat. We now have a box of grapefruit sitting in our kitchen, they are different than the kind we get in Canada though. Orange in colour, and have a different taste, sweet like an orange but sour at the same time. Hard to describe.

I am officially a member of the Takapuna Boating Club. I have also learned they have a nice bar overlooking the water with awesome priced drinks and food. $3NZ/2.15CDN Pints... beat that Pete Club. The plan is for my flat to head down there tomorrow night to have a few drinks.

As I am writing this my ears are still ringing. I went to a concert last night (Peaches) it was very loud, very sweaty but lots of fun. She is actually a Canadian, but her music is pretty out there (and vulgar). Mom, you wouldn't enjoy it. Looks like this weekend will be busy. Saturday I am heading to Piha beach with some exchange students from the University. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

PS are you enjoying your first frosts?
