Now I dont to seem like I'm complaining but how long can this weather last? It seems that we have had nothing but wind, rain and hail for the past three weeks, it just never ends. Took Friday off work and travelled up to Auckland leaving home at 4am to make the most of the clear roads, weather was cold and with the two main roads up the North Island closed the night before because of snow and ice there was some concern that we might have to wait it out for a while in the car, this was luckily not the case and we made good time. Hit Auckland at about 10:30am and went straight to the reason of the trip, New Motorbike. Had a quick look over the bike and everything seemed to look good so completed the paperwork and travelled to north shore of Auckland to visit my Mother (what a good son I am) Couldnt believe the weather when we woke on Saturday morning it was like summer again, blue sky not a cloud to be seen and hardly a breath of wind, a welcome change to life in Wellington. Drove back today with the weather getting wetter, greyer, colder every hour. Welcome back.

Thanks for the ideas. I like the idea of using old fishing nets. I'll have to wander down to the harbour and see if I can sneak one away while the sailors aren't looking.
