different adventures

this evening we’ve all been doing different things

esther went with the church youthgroup to parakai hot pools for swimming and water sliding.

jane and kezia went to kezia’s swimming lesson then mcdonalds, then ten pin bowling

and i went to collect Warren and then we went to the church men’s event where this evening the speaker was the principal of a school which was the centre of a terrible tragedy a few years ago where 6 school kids and a teacher died whilst on a school outdoor pursuits event.  The event was a national news story at the time (and since), not only for the event, but also for how the parents, teachers and other kids responded.  powerful stuff.  read more here. 

my work day was ok, but the best bit was the walk to work this morning thanks to the amazing blanket of fog which descended on the harbour.  here are a few pictures.

the water was so still

and the only sound was an occasional deep fog horn from a passing tug boat

spot the hovering sky tower ..

and it’s daffodil day (i think today) which is a collection in aid of a cancer charity, but also a sign that spring is, er, springing
