office moving day and other excitements

i drove in to work today for the first time in a year.  i left the house at 6.15am and was at my desk by 6.45am.  And i found some free parking near my office. 

i wondered if i could have saved a lot of time and bus fares if i’d driven in every day over the last year ?  not as much fun though.  i drove in because my weekly bus pass had run our and i was finishing at lunchtime thanks to the office move.

after an hour of work i headed down town to have lunch with Buzz in his new office (well technically upstairs from his actual office but you know what i mean)

there’s a fantastic view from the 17th floor restaurant even on a cloudy day

and now we know why council workers are always so happy:

then it was back to my office for packing and some more work and we were all thrown out at midday as the movers were coming in.

i did a bit of work this afternoon and then managed to nearly finish my last assignment on my photo course.  Then a bird got stuck in kezia’s room whilst she was out at her swimming lesson so i had to let it out, but it seems to have pooed over quite a lot of the house which is pain in the avian bott.

esther and her friends organised a food collection at school for the Salvation Army and got a nice haul today.

and esther and kezia have brought home a poi each this weekend to practice for their kapa haka.  i’ve uploaded a video to youtube, but seeing as it’s just them and they are wearing their school uniform you have to be a youtube member to see it (and i think i might have to authorise you).  drop me an email if you have a youtube account and want to see it.

weekend.  hoorah !
