Ended up going fishing yesterday...

just the kids and myself :)

High tide was at 7:40pm, we got the there at about 2pm. Weren't having any luck for the first 2-3 hours - not even nibbles! Meanwhile, there were 6 other Asians right next to us reeling in lots and LOTS of baby kahawai...and keeping them :( Guy next to us had half a bucket of them...I almost gave up hope and told the kids "maybe we should take our big hooks off and put tiny ones on?" then quickly decided "No - we didn't come for baby fish, we came for BIG fish..." so continued on with out big hooks and huge bait lol.

Well...it paid off cos we finally caught a HUGE Kahawai! And within an hour of that first one, we had 4 HUGE kahawai! We were really excited and very pleased with ourselves!!

The boys had a swim, and we left Port Waikato just after 8pm. First stop - MIL's house, they were again, impressed with me and the kids....lol.

Hubby got home after 11pm, very proud of us...

I wore a long sleeved shirt and saved myself from the sun. Clever girl. ;)

I had work today - wore shorts - couldn't be stuffed wearing jeans just so I didn't look so dorky in shorts and steel capped work boots - I took the dory option and thank god I did cos it was mega HOT!! Got the usual - "Your legs are SOOOO white...blah blah blah" Comments..."well, my dad is Irish - suppose that's why they could be soooo white??" Duh lol.

Anyway, good day at work, hubby had to start at 12pm, kids were fine at home. We are having fish cooked in coconut cream tonight, I haven't bothered to cook it yet - will attract too many bloody flies and the afternoon/evening sun shines right into the kitchen, so it's even hotter in there...will cook tonight when the sun has gone down.

I'm gonna do some baking tonight too...just feel like being really domestic like that :)

11:30pm - I have a gorgeous carrot cake cooling on the rack...and half a batch of melting moments, I'll finish the rest of the dough off tomorrow as I'm really tired lol. Both will be iced int he morning...Mmmm...

Had the fish that we caught yesterday for diner tonight, was SOOOOO yummy!!
