volcanic

there was a lovely but weird pinky sunrise this morning which was really lovely but needed a tripod to capture properly.  it was probably in part caused by the chilean volcanic cloud which is making its second pass over New Zealand. 

much of my day was spent in cafes.  i had my regular catch up with my boss in a cafe, then we had a team get together in a cafe, and then i met buzz for lunch in the food court.  that was all going well until buzz accidentally got chilli in his eye.  that’s exactly why you should always wear a precautionary eye patch to lunch (probably)

jane had another good day at school and got her final instructions from her boss who is off to Wellington College in the UK and Geneva for a few weeks

i met everyone at the swimming pool after work (finding a short cut from the park and ride bus station that everyone else in the family already knew about)

then this evening we watched the final episode of the antarctic documentary and then jane and i watched a film.  well, i watched half of it and then gave up.  (which is only fair as jane gave up on napoleon dynamite last weekend!)
