    i ended up working from home today as i got a weird cold thing which had gone by mid afternoon but i did manage to catch up with my chum buzz

    everyone else had school etc

    jane is at some formal dinner thing at school as is dressed in an egyptian theme’d costume.  she did send us a photo but i’m not sure if i’m allowed to post it so won’t just in case

    the girls had one of their last orchestra rehearsals after school

    and i had various phone calls about the corporate photo job i’m going tomorrow.

    jane and i had our hair done (different styles).  esther and i went out for a long practice drive.  kezia came back from her sleep over.

    the four of us went out for lunch to celebrate the girls’ various successes

    fay went to waiheke for the day with a chum

    the weather has been quite nice today (finally) and this was an exciting death trap at the cafe thanks to an electricty cable pulled tight across the top of a stair case!

    and of course, Jane, Esther and i went to vote in the general election.  exciting times.
