One Fine Sunday.

The weather over the weekend was fantastic. Almost had me convinced that summer is round the corner and not months away. We initially wanted to head over to Davenport but got lazy and just decided to hang around the beach on this side of Auckland instead.

We put on our shades, popped the dog in the backseat and off we went for a short drive along the beach. It was nice having the sun on my face after going through such a wet and dreary winter.

Here's Cooper thoroughly enjoying himself snapping at the wind and barking at dogs whizzing by.

We ended up at Mission Bay. Had brunch at one of the sea-side cafes. We initially had Cooper with us at the cafe (they're really dog friendly here) but he was harrassing all the patrons so we got fed up and banished him to the car. Ha!

We sat around, had mussels and wine, soaked in the sun and just watched the world go by.

Decided to free the Coopster from his imprisonment and headed over to the beach for a walk. And because I'm the one with the camera, there aren't any shots of me looking all cool on the beaach. Darn.

Spot the dog in this shot.
