Two weekends

Last weekend was our annual pilgrimage to Puniho Marae for language class, this time with the added bonus of our Whanganui classmates coming up to join us.  There was a lot of fun and a lot of learning plus a fair bit of just sitting around and enjoying the sunshine.

Then on Sunday it was off to Hamilton for 3 days of library conference. This weekend is Labour Day and I have plans to go nowhere and do as little as possible!

Moving up in the world

We have been moving around at work and my view has changed.  I've swapped ground floor, south side for third floor north side and a view of my favourite bookstore for a view of the ocean.

Yarn Bombing

This last weekend, to promote Canteen the teenage cancer support organisation, the city was yarn bombed.  People from all over the place have been knitting squares that were collected and under cover of darkness the Canteen guys wrapped things around town.  Somewhere in there are a couple of dozen rows that I did - we had share knitting in the tearoom at work; pick it up, do some rows, leave it for the next person.  Very relaxing.
