oh, and i decided to sell my ticket for a big music festival on friday as the weather looks rubbish (or alternatively it’ll be really hot) and the thought of being squashed in some metal pens with 10,000 other people didn’t really appeal once i thought about it a bit more. it’s on the NZ equivalent of ebay at the moment and i’ll at least get back what i spent on the ticket judging by where the bidding has got to

meanwhile jane and the girls had a very busy day. they met up with Fleur and her daughters and had some good chatting (and no doubt some laughing as they do). then jane took the girls to various shops and was remarkably successful buying school things ready for going back to school in a couple of week’s time.
jane’s parents are now above the pacific and all being well they’ll arrive in auckland before the cyclones do !
