esther finally made it to the Coromondel late last night. we know this because we were waiting for her text to say she’s arrived until quite late. turned out the car she was in got lost and then was out of mobile signal coverage. anyway, they thought it was a hoot and they got there eventually
this morning everyone was up and out of our house before 7.
kezia and jane went swimming/pearl walking then did some mooching round the mall
meanwhile i met up with a Korean chap called Nori from the photo club so we could go and do some street photography
he is an absolutely amazing landscape photographer so i said i was happy to show him my approach to photography (shoot and run) if he would show me how he does his amazing landscapes (sit and wait).
we decided to do the street photography this weekend and we’ll arrange the landscape photography later
so, we wandered all over auckland taking pictures of things and people
but after 8am we went down to the watefront to watch people watching the America Cup, and NZ’s almost victory (again)
you can read about this morning’s two races elsewhere but needless to say it was very frustrating for everyone watching so we didn’t get pictures of people celebrating!
perhaps not enough people bought their red socks
this afternoon (after snoozes) jane went out to see her friend debbie whilst i started on my photo editing
later on kez and i went to pak n save
and this evening it’s been telly and coaxing pearl on to her new bed
here’s a fancy car
