it’s slightly unfair that i get to write the daily blog when i didn’t get to take part in most of the day’s activities !

but anyway, here goes:

kezia went out at 5.30pm to a party at the local indoor ski place.  it’s 9.30pm and she’s not back yet, so we assume that means she is having a great time !

everyone else in the family (except me) went to muriwai to look at the black sand, the mad sea and the gannet colony

it seemed most of the fun of the day involved looking down binoculars

when i got home from work jane’s mum was still looking down here binoculars, this time at the birds in the reserve behind our house

then after tea we went to long bay for a walk to … granny’s bay

we had to walk over the top of the hill, but got a nice view (today’s first picture was taken from the highest point in the walk)

then there was so posing for pictures

if jane’s mum looks a bit strange below it’s because she had the giggles.    she’s pulled an amazingly funny face just before and i’d caught a picture of it as i’m quick on the draw.  i was forbidden from showing it to you of course, so he she is giggling about it in front of a sign which says granny’s bay

and finally, here’s today’s win review

jane and party liked this one better than yesterday’s, but pooch and me liked it less.
