It's nearly the end of May 2014

Without you knowing it, the month of May is just about to end.  And officially it will be winter here in New Zealand.  The days and nights are getting colder and wetter.  Warm clothing is a must---the more layers the better. But there are still things and events that you can do even with this kind of weather.

I met two Kiwis today, a father (60s) and son (mid 30s) who were out in the shed cleaning the various kinds of fish that they caught.  They started out on a boat at the crack of dawn and were able to catch a sizable number of fish.  They had snapper with the correct size and number as required by law, kahwai and some other species.  They had filleted them and kept the fish heads too.  I remember in the past when Kiwis didn't really like fish heads.  But with the influx of other cultures who are found of fish heads, they are now sold in supermarkets.

Asked why they ventured out to sea on a cold nearly wintry day, both were affirmative that it was their way of bonding with each other.  With their very busy lives they haven't seen and been with each other for quite sometime.  And that was my wow moment for today!
