i promised you a picture of some spirulina and here it is.  i have a spirulina smoothie at work most mornings. Despite looking like swamp food it’s actually quite tasty.  Although now i’ve done a quick google and found out it’s actually algae, i’m not so sure i still like the idea.

Anyroad up, we went to a local cafe after church this morning with some new friends from church which was really nice (and where i got my spirulina drink).

Then it was back home for some more box unpacking before heading out for afternoon tea at one of jane’s friend’s birthday drop in/out type things.  we had a really good time and it was good to meet the people that jane’s been hanging out with during the day.  i was beginning to wonder if she was just making up an elaborate group of imaginary friends, but they seemed real enough.  They also go to the church.

We’re back home now.  The finishing unpacking touches are being put to esther and kezia’s rooms before we start our sunday evening telly watching.  It’s now become traditional to watch Sky+’d recordings of Coast (to remind us of the mother-land) and The Goodies (to remind us, of, er, the 1970s).  The Goodies is a fairly typical example of British TV as seen by Kiwis.

Right, best be off.  We’re putting the bins out for tomorrow before telly starts and I’m being called.  See ya.

    You have my complete admiration for drinking that “smoothie” By the way, one of my interests is finding and listening to Rock stations all over the world. Just found Auckland 99FM and I am currently enjoying the Rolling Stones.

    Coffee after church this morning looks far more appetizing. Lovely to hear all your news. Please send us some of your sunshine. Weather here is appalling. Music group social tomorrow at Kate’s home. Should be good, but no pies from Sweeny Todds. Shame!!!!!Love to you all. Clive and Heather

    One of our memories of Auckland is seeing an episode of Last of the Summer Wine on the airport TV. Things clearly have not progressed much since then, telly-wise.

    julie – last of the summer wine was on telly last night. i think it’s a sunday night TV tradition the world over.
