August

The last week has been much warmer, thanks to a nor'westerly wind pattern; even the ice at the bottom of Centennial Park where the sun never reaches has finally melted. It isn't spring, there is more chill to come, but we are enjoying the respite.

Hannah played at Geraldine this week, and I had the best cup of coffee ever at "The Top Paddock," which I think is maybe under new management. Hannah's team won 5-1, and continue to improve each week. Zach's team lost again, and just need a little more focus in their game.

Katarina, Janine and I went to see the latest Harry Potter movie on Saturday, and were pretty disappointed with the ending; Dumbledore dies and Harry is so moved by grief he notices the view from the top of the tower. You what? Eh?

Chris ran the first session of "Going Somewhere" in South Canterbury, a youth leadership program. The evening went well, and is pretty exciting.
