i worked from home today as i had a meeting 10 minutes from home at 11.30. it was with the CEO of TCF, the telecoms industry group. Their office is in Albany which is handy. The CEO was really positive about some work i’ve been doing for the last year so that was nice. it goes to their board in March and i was after some final guidance on process etc.
then i had to drive in to auckland for a follow up meeting with the regulatory representative of another company who turned out to be the wife of the CEO. New Zealand is a small country! I was given directions by a guy from the TCF who has been helping me on the project but his sense of direction was a bit dodgy and we ended up in an underground carpark which was too small to turn round in in the building next to where we were trying to get to. a 10 point turn and plenty of laughing saved the day. and in the end that meeting only lasted 6 minutes long as she was also happy with the work we’ve done!
kezia had another good day at school and esther met a few more of her teachers who are nice. her class is mostly the same as last year, although one lad has been moved to another class as he didn’t put the effort in last year. two other boys have left for other schools – esther was glad about both – one was annoying and the other was the best at spelling, so now esther is in with a better chance if there’s a competition!
this evening they both had swimming. we watched some family telly (frozen planet), then after the girls had gone to bed we watched another mike leigh film from our dvd rental. and that was that.
during the day jane kept popping out for coffees with chums. and did more preparation for kezia’s party tomorrow.
