the bush above is pampas grass and an obnoxious pest (in New Zealand) according to our neighbour who came by a took the seeds off it this evening. he’ll come back later to take the rest of it away i think. he knows about plants and things so that’s handy
i had a very busy day at work, but at least the buses were emptier with the schools being away.
two boats of note in the harbour this morning. the hideously shaped celebrity cruise ship (above) and the amazing private yacht which is just about to head off to France apparently. it’s been in Auckland right over the summer being spruced up so it’ll be sad to see her go
meanwhile esther had a good day with her friend wandering round the shops (but not buying anything) in auckland town
kezia did lots of homework and jane did lots of jobs at home
kezia also had a dentist appointment which went well
