meanwhile i finished off some bits from our NZ tax and did our UK tax (total refund for jane and me of one pound and ten pounds respectively, with a cost of 21 pounds (VAT free at least) for the software that enabled us to submit our response)

jane then kindly let me go photoing and most excellently Buzz was free so we met up at Muriwai in anticipation of a sunset

the sunset didn’t turn up as some clouds moved in at the wrong moment but we generally avoided rain showers
