it’s been a bit rainy today making for some great rainbows.  here’s one outside our house (looking across the street from our driveway).  i learnt today that rainbow light is polarised meaning if i wiggle my head around whilst wearing my polarised sun glasses i could make it disappear or increase its intensity. nice.

then esther and kezia went to their ‘orchestra’ which was taught by their old teacher which was a shame.  but there are plans afoot apparently and the girls said she was better organised so hopefully they’ll carry on.  meanwhile jane and i went to a caff and had coffee and cake.  note how yucky my hot water looks.  the bits were there when i got it.

after that we went to see the Mr Boon comedy show which also featured Jared Christmas but sadly not rhys darby who featured in it last week.

after that we headed back home to prepare for the Dunnings to come for tea.  after dinner (10 of us round a table) the grown ups sat round the jigsaw and made good head way whilst the kuds played board games.
