Music practice

In three weeks time, Zach and Hannah have piano exams - the intensity, duration and focus in practice has taken a dimensional leap! They have a range of pieces, jazz, modern, and classical and there is much work still to be done.
We enjoyed having Katarina home last week - she was on jury service during study break, but disappointed to have a mistrial declared on Friday! She took the bus home Monday evening.
Chris enjoyed a weekend break at Kakanui after taking a wedding in Temuka on Saturday. He is making a lovely job of installing the old bath as a water feature in the garden, complete with lilies, water weed, stones, and soon - fish.
We are also enjoying the Kiwi hot tub which arrived last Monday. We are trialling it in different places, but it is great to have a long soak outdoors at the end of the day.
Janine has been working on a speech for English, and is looking forward to her last days of school. She has also bought a ticket to Parachute!!!
