here are the jandals of our lovely babysitters who came this evening from up the road as both jane and i were out.
but first we must tell you the girls did great in their swimming and both came fourth in their races against very strong opposition. kezia was in the 8 year olds group, so was one of the youngest so did very well.
jane went out to see some of her chums this evening to talk about her Mainly Music thing and learning about friendship evangelism from a 68 year old lady wearing funky jeans. she said you should drop the āeā word and just be friends with people.
meanwhile i went to see The Pixies at the Powerstation in town. just 30 mins or so from home with easy parking etc. they played for 2 hours and were fantastic
it was a bit weird though as i realised they were at the peak of their powers half my life ago. we played one of their songs in my first ever band and the bass player (now an old lady!) was one of the main people that inspired me to start playing bass. there were lots of balding old men amongst the students. you could tell who the old ones were though as they stopped jumping up and down about a 30 seconds in to each song as they were puffed out ! And the drummers glasses slipped off at one point but it was all right as a roadie picked them up for him. how rock and roll is that.
i was planning on working from home tomorrow to do a presentation but i got a last minute ticket to go to this which features buzz aldrin, the second person on the moon !
