For the dapper and the Deco-delighters, timing is everything - and two days out from the start of the mid-winter DIY Deco event it appears the weather is set to get its timing right.
Not that it would have mattered too much if it were inclement, given that the festivities are mainly of the indoor variety.
But a spot of sunshine and mild temperatures always goes down smashingly well.
"Looks like it will be nice," Art Deco Trust general manager Sally Jackson said.
The Napier City Pak'nSave DIY Deco is in its third year using the single $50 registration system which allows attendees access to most events, although there are some exceptions.
