I was just going to put up my blip today on the wonderful book I am reading when I saw this wonderful sky.. it didn't last long so was lucky to capture it. You can see the book in my extra shot.

Today I managed to get to my hydrotherapy classes as I am feel a little better but still have a bad cough. Everyone was jealous of my tan which I must have gotten while just walking around as I didn't sunbath as such. I am lucky as I turn brown easily without getting burnt. It wasn't as cold today but still wasn't nice weather to be outside in. Hope it warms up soon!

The booked called 'Call of the Kiwi' is really good so far I am only just about half way through. It is a new Zealand author. Here is a bit about it.

The great-granddaughter of Gwyneira McKenzie—who arrived in New Zealand as a naïve young bride in In the Land of the Long White Cloud—Gloria Martyn has enjoyed an idyllic childhood at Kiward Station, her family’s sprawling sheep farm in the Canterbury Plains. When her parents send word from Europe that it’s time for Gloria to become a proper “lady” by attending boarding school half a world away in England, Gloria must leave everything and everyone she loves most in the world, including her steadfast protector Jack McKenzie. Wrenched from her beloved homeland and struggling to fit in with the stifling strictures of British boarding-school life, Gloria has never felt more alone.

Upon discovering that her parents have no intention of ever sending her home, Gloria takes matters into her own hands and sets off on an adventure that will change her forever. A stirring coming-of-age tale of love, loss, endurance, shame, and redemption that takes readers from the lush plains of New Zealand’s South Island to the bloody shores of Gallipoli, across Australia’s Northern Territory and beyond, Call of the Kiwi is a profoundly satisfying conclusion to the saga that has captured readers’ hearts across the globe.

Will worth a read!
