Pohutukawa

A slow start to the day. Poor S has been ill with a chest infection, and has needed medication from the GP. Thought she was getting better, only for her to sleep very little last night because of the cough. (I slept through it all, which would not have endeared me to her; when you can't sleep and someone else is, it seems very unfair.)

I ran in the middle of the day and just avoided being rained on. It has remained overcast all day, however. At Coxs Bay, I saw some Pohutukawa covered in flowers. This is why it has been called the New Zealand Christmas Tree.
