The ups and downs
Day 180 June 28th 2016
It was a grey day today. A day spent at the computer working, and no inclination to head outside really into the greyness!
I am trying to learn Te Reo and today I had a chance to catch up a bit and as I was practising and working out ways to remember vocabulary, I found these images.
Kei te pēhea koe? How are you feeling?
Kei te whakahīhī ahau. I am feeling proud.
Proud that I am having a go and learning – slowly, but learning!
Day 179 June 27th 2016
A day of rain. Sitting at my computer I only notice it when the sound invades, look out of the window, the sky has darkened but there is a splash of brightness, colour, pink against grey, delicate but strong, withstanding the battering of raindrops.
Day 178 June 26th 2016
Caught up with housework today – quite cathartic once I got into it. Escaped to watch Gus play hockey in the rain. The second of his two matches today and it was a good game. Close fought but they snatched a draw from the jaws of victory… the other team equalised in the final minute!
Day 177 June 25th 2016
From high tea to beer and cheese… a good way to spend a wet Saturday midwinter afternoon. Cheating again with 2 photos!
Day 176 June 24th 2016
A bleak day for Britain and Europe. We are numb, shocked, in disbelief. How could this come to pass? As the results unfolded it was clear that there was a clear divide in the country geographically, demographically and by age. Who knows what lies ahead… but whatever it is there are huge changes ahead. Maybe this will be the catalyst for the young to take an interest in politics, to take control, a new order…
Day 175 June 23rd 2016
Core Breakfast with Alex Hotere-Barnes looking at raising awareness and shifting thinking around Māori achievement. It was a thought provoking session; read the Storify for more information. https://storify.com/robeanne/core-breakfast
Day 174 June 22nd 2016
Back to work. Plenty of catching up to do. It was a grey day out there and most of it was spent at the computer.
Hockey tonight was the 3rd 4th play offs and it ended in a draw.
Day 173 June 21st 2016
A day’s leave today and I went to Rosehill College with the Hillcrest High School sports teams to support them at the annual sports exchange. A productive day out with HHS retaining the shield. I was essentially there with the hockey team but it could also be counted as my first official duty as a BOT member! This photo is the 1st XI boys doing a selfie (grelfie!?) to send to one of the players who had just had his appendix out! 6-1 win
