Back to school

The new school year has started - as one Year 7 said we have have had 3 lots of two days. Which is true for students. I have actually been there every day for the three weeks except for Waitangi Day.

On Waitangi day Ruth, Charles, Christopher and I went up to see the tram Museum at Mckays Crossing. We had a tram ride and then enjoyed out lunch on the beach - this was proably the highlight for Christopher. We then went into Raumati to see if their minature train was running but it wasn't so Charles enjoyed a play in the play ground while Christopher slept. When he woke Christopher thought we were still going to the trains - fortunately the train was running at Avalon park in Lower Hutt so we had out train ride and another playground play. A very enjoyable day - though very hot.

Yesterday Charles, Murray and I got tidied up after Charles had had cricket and went into Government House. We walked up with crowds of others, collected our paper bag lunch and drinks - a very nice lunch and found a spot on the hillside. Great to bump into Judith and Don. We enjoyed the pre concert music before the main concert - a Day in St Petersburg so excerpts of well known Russain composers. The cannons were the big highlight for Charles. he had look at them during the interval and then enjoyed the explosions during the 1812.
No photos as I foget my camera on both ocassions.
