school, work. jane went to a meeting with kezia about her school trip which leaves on Thursday and esther had a band practice

church and chores.

and we found an annoying dog which lives up our street and often runs away.  it sometimes follows the girls for ages.  today we saw it up by church.  so we caught it and took it home.  the owners weren’t that bothered!

the girls and i were up early to collect their sausages and food supplies for their sausage sizzle.  jane came over mid morning and we both went to the cafe.  the girls finished mid afternoon and had 100 sausages left!

meanwhile i went in to a rather wet auckland to do my assignment for getty images, taking pictures of british rugby fans.   you can see my pictures here if you like: http://www.gettyimages.co.nz/search/photographer?excludenudity=true&family=editorial&photographer=dave%20simpson&sort=newest#license

i then whizzed home and edited the photos then did the complex uploading thing.

work, school

kezia went out for a church youth food evening

my new laptop arrived today so this evening i’ve been rushing to get it set up ready for my photo uploads throughout the day tomorrow.  i also bought some business insurance.

work, school, new car 1 month service

work, school

i had jury service but didn’t get picked again and since there are no more trials this week we got discharged for good so i’m back to work for the rest of the week

i was contacted by getty images to see if i could be a ‘stringer’ for them on Saturday afternoon when the Lions rugby tour hits auckland so that should be fun

everyone else had school and jane is feeling a bit exhausted

a weather bomb is on its way so it’s cold dark and very wet this evening.  shortest day.  ever.  but i’ve been enjoying reading about people being hot in the britain

work then court (didn’t get chosen again) then work then home

girls had school then auckland for an opera.  i’ll pick them up at 9.45pm

jane had school then home via the girls school where she collected loads of instruments and school bags so the girls didn’t have to take them to the opera!

i had jury service today but didn’t get picked for anything so got let out early. back tomorrow for more of the same.  i did tons of work on an excel sheet this afternoon

girls had school and after they had various music things and meetings.

i went to a photo exhibition where photos are selected through a national competition run by the camera club i go to.  I had three pictures on display (digitally) so that was good.

i was on sound this morning at church and also podcast creating duty

then this afternoon we drove in to town to walk down a new motorway tunnel.  new zealanders love to do that and the tickets were sold out in hours. luckily we got ours and we had a happy hour walking half way down the tunnel which goes under the harbour and will make our trip to the airport much quicker.

by the way, i’ve updated last Thursday’s entry with some pictures of the choirs
