Peter's birthday weekend

The sunrises have been glorious, on Jan and my early morning walks. The tempestuous state of the winter weather means that the sky is an everchanging canvas of colour and mood. How's this for one morning's work:
On the right is the Skytower and city, the sun is looking as if it just burst out of the crater on Rangitoto, and the harbour bridge is just below.

Peter came up for the weekend to celebrate his coming birthday. I gave him the painting I did of the two of us at the top of the Ruapane Trig on Pirongia. He's tilting his head in like fashion.
With the painting as a back drop, this is the four of us enjoying birthday dinner of lamb shanks followed by turkish honey and almond cake.

We also saw movies. This occasion it was the four of us seeing 'Starter for Ten' at the Bridgeway on Saturday afternoon.
And John and Naomi Cowan were on their way in as we were leaving, and took this of us.
Although we are standing by the poster of Amazing Grace, it was the movie Peter and I had seen the night before. Amazing movie!
