On Monday we'd borrowed CDs car for a shopping trip to Kerikeri. We pulled in to a small 'out of town' shopping centre clustered around a large car park. There's a good electronics shop there where David found a replacement recharger cable for his MP3 music machine and a general household store where we found a winter weight duvet in the sale bin. It may be going into summer for native New Zealanders but for those who've been living in the tropics for too long overnight temperatures below 20°c demand a duvet of at least 5 tog rating. There were cosy new slippers for both of us. Alas we've become the warm weather softies I used to mock.

An important item on our shopping list was more home brewing kits and a second set of bottles. A necessary improvement for the production line to ensure continuity of supply.
With a new kit in our hot hands the Jackster microbrewery was able to open for business once more. The chosen boutique elixir is a Coopers (of Australia) real ale. It should be ready to bottle in seven days and a week after that biere nouveau will be ours to enjoy.
