Friday's exploits

Had another coooold day in school at the church, but thankfully we were on Friday and had the hope of the weekend! Nick finished off the morning with the reading of "Treasure Island". Home for lunch, and then Nick went to watch a game of tennis and Miriam took all the boys and me to a park - first though, a short drive to a few points of interest - good to know where the places to go are! We went first to Leckie Street Park which was super windy (the rain had dried up but there was a cold wind blowing), then left for Centennial Park which is absolutely huge and contains ponds, gas BBQs, playground equipment, cycling/walking tracks, a BMX course, and lots of grass and trees. You really have to drive from one end to the other. Spent a bit of time there enjoying a sheltered playground.
Later in the afternoon I took myself to the Warehouse for a good browse - the department stores all have perpetual sales. I'm convinced that the Warehouse constantly rotates their sale sections, so that within the space of maybe, six months, everything in the store has had a turn at being on sale. Works for me. Tea at Matt and Rachel, and the guys brushed up on their Geek. Oh, ha ha, what a funny typo. I meant Greek.

Hi,
Wow, such a nice play-park!
What a contrast to the one on Longwood Green.
Timaru seems such an interesting place to explore. I am glad you have having a good time getting to know you way about.
