Journal. Tuesday Picnic

On Monday we stayed around home. I gave John some tuition on the computer and he was as pleased as punch that he could do new things. I liked his Sony laptop particularly the very wide viewing angle. I also filled his "Favorites" with many of mine and showed him how to do it. Both of them also spent time sending emails to friends.

Late afternoon John decided he needed a photo of the roosting Cormorants and both of them went down to the lake.

On Tuesday we decided to take them to Hamilton Gardens. They visited here 3 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. The day was beautiful as it has been since they arrived. Again they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Salmon plus cheese and tomato sandwiches, NZ orange out of cups, quince and fruit then basking in the warm Autumn sun. Bliss said John.

We slowly walked through the many gardens starting with the Italian one and ending with the Chinese garden. As the late autumn afternoon chill approached we wended our way home tired and happy.
