Remembrance

Yesterday was ANZAC Day so I got up early(ish) and went to the local commemoration. 

Helicopters on the way back to base after the flyby at the dawn service in town. 

Beautiful putiputi harakeke (flax flower) wreath made by the local kindergarten. 

Not So Bad

A new cafe has opened next to my regular dairy/convenience store. I’ve been in a couple of times but this morning I noticed they have a naughty corner. 

Not a bad spot for a bit of time out. 

High Tide

It’s a bit hard to see but I got to work Tuesday sporting a high tide mark. 

This was the result of standing at the bus stop in torrential swirling rain with thunder and lightning rolling around. Thanks to a proper coat that keeps me dry down to my knees at least I wasn’t sitting on a damp bum all day. 

Arty cups

Both Te Matatini and Womad had the same paper cups and not your boring old plain ones either.  Fully recyclable, beautifully decorated and multi purpose.

Definitely says something about my festival diet that two of these are ice cream and the other is coffee.
