it’s fathers’ day today in new zealand today. so there was free chocolate for gentlemens and paper moustaches.
the older kids also got free chocolate as they had to sit through the talk.
after church i went for a 2 hour training walk at long bay
i took my big camera so there were a few stops along the way as i saw things which were worth photoing
when i got to the far end i sat by the edge of the estuary and ate some chocolate to celebrate my half way point. as i sat quietly watching the flat water i started to see little plops so watched more carefully. and then noticed there were (rather big) fish throwing themselves out of the water every few minutes!
i somehow managed to capture this guy thanks to my new camera
jane has been doing school preparation all day. kezia has been tidying her room and esther has been doing her homework.
this is a common sight at the beach – people bring their front room furniture
in fact there’s a lot of furniture (and other stuff) all round our neighbour streets at the moment as it’s our annual inorganic waste this weekend.
