Another ‘recovery’ day and another beautiful ‘day in paradise’ and extra special because it’s a long weekend. Muscles are sore, toes are sore but hip not too sore! We decided to tackle the Silica Rapids before heading home via Taupo and a dip in the lake. More stunning scenery…say no more!

I had the good fortune to spend the day with an awesome bunch of teachers in Reporoa today. Excited to be working with them this year. Beautiful landscape and made the most of it by going for a dip in the hot water at Kerosene Creek on the way home. Such a beautiful spot.

Wow! Nearly the end of the first month already! Work has gained momentum as schools go back so photos were thinking on the ground today. I could show you the pan with burnt on pasta swirls that I came back to this afternoon…or the 4 Minion shoe bags I made this evening for our Oxfam trail walker team.
I think the pasta is funnier, sorry Gus! Quite artistic too!

Another week, another trip to Auckland to see/listen to another great musician. PJHarvey was brilliant. This review of the Sydney show says it all although the same can’t be said of the venue. Mesmerising, powerful sounds, powerful words, a complete performance. Even bought the tee-shirt!
Photos were hard to come by – to many tall people in front of me…think I’ll take a stool to the next concert!

A bike ride this afternoon- low impact training to help assuage my hip! Lovely light on the Waikato river. As well as the ducks and the flowing river, drones now seem to be part of the landscape.

A quiet Sunday; lazy morning, session at the hydrotherapy pool to appease my need for exercise while not upsetting my injury too much, and tea in the pub with friends and family .

The day of President Trump’s inauguration and also the start, maybe, of some mobilised resistance. The Women’s March on Washington took place today and there were 673 official ‘sister marches’ around the world. We organised, at very late notice, our own unofficial, very small march in The Tron. Tracey and I met in Garden Place and walked along Victoria Street and back in solidarity. We also had an excellent coffee in Demi-Urgo!

After the storm ….after the sunshine… Wellington in a southerly! Beautiful evening but a bit chilly!

Amazing evening at Vecta Arena experiencing the majestic performance of Nick Cave. Simple but extremely impressive backdrop and lights.
