we went out for breakfast this morning to celebrate the girls’ various successes (esther’s report and kezia’s swimming races last weekend).

we went to the takapuna beach cafe which is the place to go for posh people watching.  it was a bit chilly this morning though as it was a little breezy and rainy

then we headed home via a fruit shop so we could try out our new juice extractor (which was a rather generous house warming gifts from some friends).  esther and i tried it out this afternoon and it was jolly good

on the way home we popped by the school gym, which is where our church moves to from tomorrow morning, to see how things were going (they were setting things up a day early to see how it’ll all work). 

 

all was good so esther and i walked back home whilst jane and kezia drove back.  the bush pictures below are what esther sees on the way.  she told me this bridge is where she stops and watches fan tails flitting about in the morning.

then there was much tidying because the Dunnings were coming to visit which was really nice.  the girls played charades whilst the grown ups chatted.

then this evening we watched a couple of episodes of Global Radar
