i’m sad to report that kezia’s guinea pig Cookie passed away over night. So there’s been much sadness all day, especially for Kezia.
otherwise usual wednesday stuff. work/school, violin, gym/swimming. some shopping at Kathmandu (the shop) as there was a 60% discount day which was good.
esther had a market day at school where the kids set up stalls to sell stuff to other kids for charity. esther’s little group sold some biscuity cake things (not very popular), some drinks (cheap and popular) and some cooked tinned spaghetti inside cut bread roles with cheese on (sound disgusting, but must be a kiwi delicacy as it sold very well!).
the people who made the most money were some enterprising kids who arranged with the local fish and chip shop to buy 100 portions of chips for $1 which they then sold for $2. apparently they were all sold within seconds. young apprentice anyone?
and i went to a lecture at the auckland library at lunchtime about historic new zealand photographers which was fascinating but rather ruined by a lady bringing her young child along who was just shouting and being a nuisance all the way through. hey ho.
