i had the day off work today to spend the day with my lovely wife. not all went to plan though as a massive gale force storm whooshed in overnight and most of the morning.
esther ended up late for school due to the traffic jams caused by debris and traffic lights being out to power cuts caused by trees falling on power lines.
so, once we thought the traffic had subsided we drove to a local boutique cinema very slowly (as the queues hadn’t cleared) and when we eventually got there with the wind still blowing, it was closed due to a power cut. so we drove all the way back and went to the mall cinema instead. we saw the Grand Budapest Hotel which i loved
this afternoon the weather cleared enough for us to walk pearl before the girls came home
kezia has swimming this evening and esther is off to a church camp with proper camping. they ended up leaving about 2 hours later than planned as one of the leaders was 2 hours late, and the last we heard was the car esther was in broke down just after harbour bridge, but is now going again. they were going to be arriving and putting their tents up quite late anyway, but now it’ll be even later (but hopefully less wet/windy). good luck to them.
