i woke up at 8am today. i’ve not woke up that late for ages so that was good.
i had a chat with jane before she went to bed in the UK, then did our UK tax returns. jane is due 50 pence tax back which is tremendous news. i wonder if they’ll pay it before she leaves britain, or whether we’ll have to convert it over to new zealand dollars to spend it.
this afternoon i went to Brown’s Bay for a walk around as it turned out to be quite a sunny day. i mostly walked round the streets, but did finish off with a walk down the beach where there were loads of dog walkers with variously behaved animals.
in other news i put a thing on the guinea pig cage so the roof doesn’t drop on your head when you’re changing the food. jane thought i might get round to mending that once i had experienced the pain of lifting it every day!
as the saying goes, if a man says he’ll do something then he will. there’s no need to remind each year it still needs doing
i also got round to editing some of the photos i took at the lighting thing on monday evening. above is the photo as it came out of the camera, and here’s the one after editing:
the camera never lies (but the photoshopping after might)
