hi. it’s been a couple of weeks since my last update. sorry about that. But like handing in home work late at school, it comes with an excuse. and just like that same home work, there’s no increase in quality due to the extra time it took me to complete it. sorry about that too.
so, since my last update i gradually reduced my pain killers for my teeth to the point where i only need a couple of paracetamols per day. i went back to work and it’s been really busy since then. i’ve still got a headache (migraine type thing) but i’m sure that’ll go at some point
the day before i went back to work, Esther and i went to the local crematorium open day which was really interesting.
kezia had millions of choir rehearsals before her trip to Italy. There was lots of stuff to organise before she left too including the huge pain of trying to change the pin on her prepaid money travel card. but we got that sorted.
her other choir also got through to the final of the national singing competition so she’s got another school trip to wellington in a few months times.
esther had a couple of solo trips out in my car including one where she drove herself to work in Takapuna which was a successful trip!
the parts for my car repair finally arrived so that’s been in the garage all this week and i’ve got an even smaller courtesy car to drive round in which has made me appreciate my own car. it was due back last friday but apparently not all the bits have arrived yet so they think it’ll be mid week instead.
jane brought forward her trip to the UK by a week and is now in the UK enjoying the sun and hanging out with her mum and dad. she had loads of last minute sorting too as well as kezia’s sorting so last week was completely hectic.
esther has been around a bit. we all went out together for a meal last saturday evening to a posh restaurant, and then esther stayed a couple of nights as it’s her mid year break. she also came with us to the airport to drop off jane on wednesday and to drop off kezia on thursday morning.
on thursday night i popped in to auckland for an hour to photo some fun on K Rd which was having it’s half year’s street festival. and on friday night i photoed a local country music legend at the tuning fork.
on saturday i went to a poultry festival with buzz and did lots of photo editing
today i had to admit defeat with looking after pearl and took her to the kennels where she usually goes. i think she’ll have a much better time than if she stayed here.
anyway, here are a load of pictures
