the girls had their orchestra concert this morning.

unfortunately so did hundreds (so it seemed) or other performers so the proceedings lasted for nearly 2 hours

but we survived and the girls did very well.  this was their last session at the orchestra as they are both ‘retiring’ (mainly because esther is moving up to secondary school and it’s a good opportunity for us to reclaim our saturday mornings)

on the way back from the endurance concert we stopped in at Albany Junior High (esther’s new school and the location of our weekly church meetings) to help dress the sports hall for tomorrow’s service

we were there for a couple of hours too and were quite exhausted by the end of it (mainly due to lack of food)

the service tomorrow is in different zones so there were lots of chairs all over the place.

then this evening we were due to go in to town for the big open air christmas concert, but decided we were just too tired to battle in to town with 10s of thousands of others and then do the same in reverse at 10.30pm this evening when we’ve got a full day tomorrow

so we went to the cinema and watched Megamind instead, which was ok (not great, but enjoyable enough)

now we’re all staggering round our hot and humid house in a state of exhaustion and variously heading bedwards

which is where i’ll be heading.  can you spot the mistake on this flag which i was on the wall at the school ?
