separate togetherness

Dec11-drinks-v3

today was the first day of Telecom (who i work for) being a standalone company separate from Chorus.  We’re going to celebrate being separate by having a party to bring us all back together next week.  i was asked to knock up the invite hence the image above.  That’s our CEO in the bottom right corner.  The two people were in a shopping centre in Scotland back in 2004.

esther had her tennis lesson and because jane is out at crafty chicks i picked her up.  we had an hour before we had to pick up kezia so we ate fish and chips at the beach.  it was so windy the seagulls were hovering still centimetres above our head (like a child’s mobile said esther) ready to dive.  in the end one of them pooed on me so that was that
