95ml in the rain gauge from yesterday. At least the sun is trying to shine today and a bit of a breeze to help dry things out a bit.
Brand new fluffy sheets on the bed tonight. Super cozy but I’m a bit worried about the colour. They’re a deep teal so I hope I don’t wake up looking like someone/thing out of Avatar. I did wash them first but still …

After a somewhat chaotic week it’s wonderful to be able to restore my soul at the beach for a day or two.

Early start to my day today. Arrived in Wellington before I would normally be out of bed 😵💫
