strange day today weather wise. lots of clouds of coming through, some of them rainy,  daytime fog.  quite dramatic at times

jane had a busy day at kristin again.  esther had an early (7.30am) netball practice.

i think there was some music lessons after school, but i met up with everyone at the millennium institute where several very jolly olympians were happy to sign autographs

when i got there they were all sitting at this table without anyone to bother them except me!  i should have taken the opportunity to take some better photos, but i didn’t!  They are mostly swimmers, but the two chaps on the photo below are cyclists.  possibly more of them actually.  who knows.

whilst i was waiting for kezia to finish swimming the main NZ TV channel news reporter turned up and did a live interview with loads of kids in the background.  all good fun stuff.

esther is top right on the photo at the top of the page (they’d moved their table round by that stage)

esther had her parent teacher interviews (parents evening) this evening and that was really encouraging.  sounds like she’s doing a good job, especially in maths
