i had a trip to wellington for work.  the meeting itself lasted thirty minutes and i said one sentence.   luckily the massive storm which had blown through on thursday had mostly gone, although there were no hot drinks served as ‘there is a lot of weather about’. 

jane had a good day at school and her new class seem nice

kezia had school which seems to be going ok i think

esther hung around the house with gold old Samikins

and, you’ll be pleased to know, i bought a replacement camera

this morning (saturday) esther and i took her phone to the Samsung repair centre and went for a drive on the motorway and in to town.  looks like we got in to town just in time as the high tide was once again spilling on to the motorway causing one lane to be closed by the time we drove back over it half an hour later (many parallel parking practises later)
