very wet

i walked to the park and ride this morning and there was a lovely sunrise and some nice silhouettes of trees.

this flag has appeared in the floor of my office.

i spent the day today talking to an australian technical expert who called me ‘sport’ at one point.  i was pleased with that

jane and the girls picked me up from work and we headed over to the auckland zoo to watch our favouritist local band, the phoenix foundation.

unfortunately shortly after the first support band played it absolutely chucked it down and we got absolutely soaked in the way new zealand rain only can.  it rained and rained.   Liam Finn was the second support band. he was excellent, but the rain continued and some of our party became a little sad at the situation.

Liam Finn is the son of Neil Finn from Crowded House who i spotted in the crowd.

Unfortunately then the concert was then rained off as everything was too wet and dangerous.  so we left all very soggy. 

esther and i said hi to one of the singers of the phoenix foundation so it wasn’t all bad.  and jane made a nice picnic, and most of us enjoyed the wetness

everyone’s now gone to bed.  so i must too.
