nothing beats an ice cream on a rainy day

they gave me a huge pile of presents to take back to distribute to various friends in Auckland.  not only were they very heavy, but also they were wrapped up and could have contained anything !

at the airport my bag got rescanned as the security person was a bit worried about something.  luckily all was well and i didn’t have to say that i had no idea what was in my bag !

i also had a quick ice cream for afternoon tea with eugene (hence the video above).  and being wellington there was plenty of food involved throughout the day and some after work christmas drinks before flying back.  Wellington was eerily calm weatherwise and i didn’t get stuck in the lift for once.

Life is like a box of chocolates! Well I had coffee with my chums, went to the school assembly, went to a friend’s and went shopping for Christmas presents. It was the last day of term for E and K. Then this eve I went to a music prac first one since we have been here. I was a little nervous, but turns out I knew most of the people there already – phew. I’m in a little Christmas choir for this Sunday. Music teacher on one side, professional singer on the other – eek. And I have to do all those high harmonies in carols that we learnt at school.
