 What's new in the Manawatu?  They put up an ice skating rink in the square park.  It will be open for the next 2 weeks.  An overheard comment as we were watching:  "Looks tricky, eh?"  Most statements here are followed by that interjection (pronounced with a long ay).
It can't compare to our New Mexico sunsets, but after the dreary skies recently, we enjoyed the colors last night.

  1. Beautiful picture and the one with the Sunset also. How far is Manawatu from PN ? What is the temp outside ? It is either 10 F or the skating rink is kept frozen by cooling elements under the ice. Did either of you go skating ? I tried to skate once - the ice is solid and the buttocks does not have enough padding.
