Day 68. Titirangi. Sand, Santa and some superior scoff.

Took Zoli to the beach at Karekare in the morning. This was the beach used to such spectacular effect in the film 'The Piano' a while back - Harvey Keitel playing a credible, if slightly chubby Maori if I remember rightly.

Zoli strangely unimpressed with the big waves and dramatic cliffs. Far more interested in drawing Fire Engines in the sand with a stick (bit of a Fire Engine obsessive is young Zoli).



Spent most of the afternoon sending Christmas E-cards to our entire hotmail address book (check your inbox)

Steve has just launched a website selling the funky little animated greetings cards he's been designing for the past few months. Rather good they are too - or at least we think they are - why not check the doublephat.com link on our Blog homepage to see if you agree.

Fortunately for us, Steve's other passion is cooking, and he rustled up some stupendous tucker in the evening. In true Polish style, this was washed down with a bottle of Vodka. Can't remember too much of what happened after that, but seem to recall quite a bit of nonsense being talked.
