church this morning was good. we’re having a three week course on marriage so that’s jolly good. our friend debbie came back for morning tea, then we all pootled about doing various things. i took a pictures of rebecca (the puppet) for my photo course
then we got in the car and drove 5 minutes up the road to go in to the Albany Scenic Reserve
this is a bit of local ‘bush’ (rain forest) which has a hard to find path in it. although once we found the path it was obvious
it was quite muddy and slippery due to the amount of rain we’ve been having, but that’s all part of the fun
in the middle is this giant kauri
it’s a healthy one which is good.
then we had to climb all the way up again
the final bit of the walk was round the road to where we started. here’s a public telephone for cows only
then we went for ice-creams at a beach which is possibly our closest as the kiwi flies (even though they don’t).
we did a couple of geocaches and enjoyed the warmth when the sun was out
then we drove back down some streets which must be having their inorganic waste collection this week. there looked to be some great stuff but we didn’t stop
then jane went out to some charity event for her friend’s child’s synchronised swimming which involved a meal and a film. we dropped jane off in the village at 6pm and she got in a car full of ladies and that was the last we saw of her
that left kezia and me to take esther to her flippa ball. esther’s team lost 4-1 but esther was quite fantastic when she was in defence. the poor lad she was marking didn’t have a chance – the couple of times he actually managed to get the ball, she knocked it out of his hands. excellent to watch.
