‘It’s always raining in the UK!’ people say to us. Mmm… Auckland is definitely in competition! We’ve had over 50mm of rain – and that was just today! In these first 10 days of February we’ve had more rain than London gets all winter!

Word of the week: to ‘dob in’
If you ‘dob in’ or ‘dob on’ someone you are reporting them to the authorities for some illegal or dubious act.
Squawking Spectacle!
Yesterday we went for a walk along the peninsula in the late afternoon and saw an amazing number of colourful parrots and other birds flying in and out of the trees lining the beach. I think we caught them on their feeding frenzy before sunset – and all the squawking that went with it! It was quite a spectacle. The photos I posted (‘Local Birdlife Gold Coast’) were all taken as we walked.
