Summer

Took my first funeral yesterday, went all right, the family was happy which is what matters. This one also involved a house blessing afterwards.
Katarina has gone to Wanaka to stay with her friend Catherine for a few days; she has gone up this morning on the bus with another friend. She has also picked up a small job teaching English to a couple of recent immigrant children that we met through the holiday program.
Janine, Zach and Hannah and I went biking through Centennial Park this morning with Shadow, who is now tuckered out! We are trying to practice for Monday, when we go to Christchurch and do the rail trail there with Nanny and Grandpa.
