After brunch near McLaren Falls, we visited Marhalls Animal Farm - 35 acres of friendly animals including giant African ostriches, Texas longhorns, elks, and the odd alpaca. wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpaca. Nine photos.
I haven't seen these in the UK, hats for food - easier than cling film.
Delighted that I not only got a canvas but have found a local friendly couple who make paint. Tanji is an artist and her husband Steven is a chemist. They make canvases and artists paints - Purity acrylics at a very good price. I bought a selection - they are building up their range of colours. They have a wonderful 5000 sq ft factory out of town next to a field of kiwi fruit. www.tanjis.co.nz

Michael and Anthony sweat it out on our tennis courts.
Erin & Mike's pool. I've already been in with Erin and the kids. Beautiful. First time I've tried a swim jet - a jet of water to swim against endlessly instead of swimming lengths and turning.
