we woke up to a cold morning today. only about 9 degrees according to the car-thermometer (how posh am i – i’ve got a Toyota thermometer i can drive to the bus station). but as we started getting closer to the city we started to go through the fog. there was a gorgeous sun rise over the harbour fog, but of course i was whizzing by on the bus so mist (!) it.
here’s the view from my office window on the 10th floor. the clouds were mostly below us giving this strange view of Sky Tower poking out the top.
here’s what it looked like under that thin layer of cloud. weird to see plants growing these giant tendrils in the middle of town. triffids anyone ?
jane’s had a really busy day today, which at one point involved coffee with a lady who has just moved to new zealand with her daughter. it’s funny to think we’re already becoming old hands (well, no old hands, just not the youngest hands)
and we’ve got a bit of a cryptic letter home from school saying they’d like to get esther to do some special maths and english exams for some reason which i think is good (and she does too). so that’s good.
here’s a big fire engine.
