then kezia went to a ‘p’ party.  p is the name of  a drug with a very bad reputation in new zealand, but it wasn’t that kind of party (at least i don’t think it was)

whilst kezia was at her party, the rest of us went to the country market in coatesville and looked at badges

then we came home and a cicada landed on esther.  so she stroked it a bit and it became her friends for a short while
