work and school for all today.
busy deadline at work for me which meant a manic afternoon of preparing a load of data for a letter to the Commission which we decided not to include at the last minute. Still, it needed to be done so i’ve saved myself some time for next week.
then this evening kezia had her first swimming lesson in the Sharks which means we don’t finish at the pool until 7pm (esther’s lesson finishes at 6.30pm). Kez will also have swimming lessons at 8am on a Saturday morning but that’s at a different pool which is so cold because of the ongoing national gas supply problem that people have been having their swimming lessons in wet suits!
a taihiti football team sat next to me when i was watching kezia’s lesson. they must be training at the millennium stadium which is a renowned sport institute. in fact i think they are playing tomorrow in auckland (capacity 2,500 – not new zealand’s biggest stadium. average attendance about 400 by the looks of it. in fact, the more i research the more i realise this wasn’t really a brush with famous sports stars!)
i was meant to be going to a church men’s event this evening where the guest speaker was to be the leader of the opposition party (you may remember that John Key packed out the place a few months back). Unfortunately the guy is so unpopular that the church couldn’t even get 20 people to attend so cancelled him!
