Oh, yes, we are on the cusp of summer. Today (Saturday NZ time) was so warm, so sunny, with beautiful blue sky, and people poured out to the beach. There were a couple of waka (outriggers) in the bay, kids were splashing and ... transparent baby jellyfish! The jellyfish were harmless but they kept on banging into me whilst I was in the water and it was annoying. One of the regulars called them 'creepy'. The little jellyfish felt about the size of a pea, the larger ones felt about triple that size. Some kids were scooping up the jellyfish and throwing them at each other.
Oh, I didn't want this day to end, it was so lovely at the beach. We were all singing that song that goes, "In the summer-time, do-do-do-do-do-doh!" However, I won't be there tomorrow if those jellyfish are still there.
