just school and work for most people

jane spent the day at the zoo with her class

everyone mostly avoided the rain

work and school for all

kezia was very tired and had to go to the school nurse then a physico because she has whip lash from her 4×4 adventuring  (which also involved the campers having to pack up their tents at 1 in the morning as their tents were blowing away in a gale and the sand from the dunes was blowing in!

esther had music practices after school and everyone is very tired

kezia is still away.  it was a really windy and rainy night so hopefully she didn’t blow away wherever she was camping with her friends!

esther and i went to church this morning while jane carried on her report writing

rest of the day has been domesticy stuff and jane went out later afternoon to meet up with some chums in advance of a wedding we’re going to next Friday

i’ve spent the afternoon preparing my presentation for the auckland photo society on thursday

kezia should be back this evening

no new photos today so here are some i didn’t post from yesterday

i photoed a band on saturday afternoon in a record shop

before that i went to an art fair in auckland then had a quick wander around the streets and found this second hand bookshop

esther stayed at home and slept late after all her korean night excitements

jane spent the morning getting her hair done and the rest of the day was report writing

kezia was picked up at 6am and taken up north for a dangerous church youth camp

esther did her performances at the korean night tonight and they all went very nicely.   i grabbed this picture from facebook.  jane and i didn’t go to the evening

meanwhile at work we had a ‘wear what you want to be’ day but only a few people dressed up.  all were blokes interestingly.  i went as myself when i was 19 years old

otherwise it was a normal work day

i took a last look at my photo down on the watefront this morning between showers

this evening jane and i went to a restaurant (tides) and kezia went to watch the korean night

so it turned out my pictures are still on the fence down at Queen’s Wharf but they’ll be gone by the end of next week in time for the Queen’s Birthday

six months in that spot is amazing!

i’ll miss going down to see them on my way to work

nice break in the showers this morning for the walk to work.  i met up with buzz for lunch

jane and the girls had school

esther has a korean night dress rehearsal this evening which seems to be running late

kezia has a little music concert at school which she didn’t want to go to but which is not quite coordinating timewise with esther so jane and me will both be going out to collect them separately

here’s a grass look carpet over the real grass on the way to my bus stop

forgot to update yesterday

jane and kezia had school

i had work then photo club

esther had a day of leadership training which sounded very good

work for me, avoiding rain showers

school for jane and kezia

esther came back from rotorua and has had an excellent time by the sounds of it

she has lots of stories of being a tourist in rotorua doing just about every attraction imaginable!

school for kez and jane

work for me

lots and lots of rain

esther is probably having fun in rotorua but we haven’t heard from her !

 

i spent the day editing photos from last night.  i ended up taking nearly a thousand so it took a while to sort and edit.

kezia went in to town with a friend and watched the captain america movie which she found a bit boring

this afternoon kezia and i went to the supermarket

esther has been on her camp all day (as far as i know!)

and jane has marked lots of reports

here’s some more unpublished photos from last night.
