"If you don't like the weather in Auckland,
just wait 5 minutes."
Such an infamous quote and oh so true. Winter time in Titirangi... reminiscent of Seattle... but warmer... and ALWAYS subject to change :)
Beau had a Plunket (free check-up) visit today at the Titirangi office for the first time instead of at the house. Weather.com said 70% chance of rain, but they are just guessing from their office in Atlanta! We (Beau and I) decided to take a chance and walk. I mean, by the time you load up the truck, find a parking spot, unload the car seat, etc. it's just not worth it for a 1.1km drive.
I only needed to pick up a few items at the grocery for dinner, so Beau and I set out with the Buga-boo in the sun for a nice walk to the village. Just in case, I made sure we had the rain cover....
Groceries secured... starting to get a bit dark and windy...
Plunket visit went great! Beau is healthy and steadily gaining weight. He weighs 5.88kg or 13lbs. Nurse was very happy with him. We are in the middle of talking about sleep patterns, teething, etc. and....
DELUGE!
It didn't just start drizzling, it started the kind of rain that causes people to leave their attics in kayaks!
Walk back was a bit less pleasant but the rain cover did its job keeping Beau nice and dry and warm :)

Time to dry off, let Beau take a nap and get to cooking some yummy NZ lamb shanks with a Mexican-American twist - ancho chiles!
