Spring flowers
There are seven tulips blooming in the garden today. Slight frost but the promise of a glorious Dunedin day. Yes!
Hannah had her friend Rikki over to play last week. I noticed later the remnants of a blue balloon in the garden, streched between some geranium stems. We were walking back from a trip to the Gardens when she stopped and adjusted it. 'What's that?' I asked. "It's a trampoline for the fairies' she replied. 'Fair enough' I thought.
Last night, as I was putting her to bed, she tucked in dolly and a bear at the end of the bed. 'They are bad parents' she told me solemnly. 'I have to look after their baby' she added, pulling out the tiny orange teddy from underneath her pillow and snuggling up in bed.
We went ice skating with the Opoho school fund raiser. The younger two haven't been on skates but Zachary, after taking it slowly at first, really enjoyed himself. His friend Anton plays ice hockey and is a gun skater as you would expect, and now Zach is very keen to improve his skills, to the point where the roller blades have been dusted off again.
Janine and Katarina also came; they are much more accomplished on ice, having been with friends and youth group trips.
Chris and I had a rare night out together on Saturday with the Mosgiel Brass Band; this was a fundraiser for the building project and the music was well tailored for the audience, lots of fun and the MC did a marvellous job.
