jane was up early and went for a walk with Pearl
esther had tennis this morning which she didn’t win unfortunately, though it was a good fight
She and kezia also had various homeworks to do
Jane spent the day tidying and getting herself and everyone else ready for her four nights away this week
Anni and I were excused the housework (thanks for my lovely wife) so we headed over to Piha where there was a surf life saving boat competition
there were a couple of camera crews at Piha, including one filming a version of Coast for New Zealand. http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/66388336/local-version-of-bbcs-coast-to-be-shot . The presenter is Neil Oliver and he kindly let me take his photo.
that was fun to watch
this gun was for starting the race, not shooting sharks.
after watching that for a bit we walked up to the Kitekite track to the falls
there was a fair amount of water coming down the waterfall given the drought conditions.
after some lunch and a quick walk round another bit of the beach we headed back home via the Arataki visitors centre to admire the views back to Auckland
then this afternoon it’s been more domestic-y things and preparing for jane being away.
