jane left home at 5am or something, and the girls and i left at 6.30ish to find our location to shout encouraging words to runners.  we ended up sitting on a little berm which meant at times we had people running each side.  After 2 hours of shouting and clapping and whooping in our little area we were done !

the girls and i came home, quickly exercised pearl and then went to church knowing that jane had completed the course and was finding her friends to get the bus back

jane got back about the same time we did and she had a nap whilst i took esther for an audition to join the orchestra at her new school.  i’m not sure when we’ll hear about that, although the audition lady was also asking esther about her trombone so that may also be an option perhaps

then this afternoon jane took esther for her first tennis match of the season.  jane has been nominated as the team manager so they had a couple of hours doing that.  esther didn’t win her match but it was close and she’s improved loads since last year

then this evening (whilst jane and esther were still out) i took kezia to flippa ball for the first match of her season.  They drew 5-5 in a hectic match.
