This is a momentous day because it’s the last day at level 4. Also Hania’s birthday so a champagne breakfast with the bubble neighbours. Vicky, Ana and I had a very long walk, nearly 7 km today. The puzzle proceeds at a glacial pace. Still, there’s plenty of time since we don’t expect much to […]

We had a nice walk in the morning, Hania and I, it was a beautiful Autumn day. Clear blue sky with a hint of winter to come. Later we had a small unofficial birthday party for Hania (birthday tomorrow) as Mike is off today. To finish the day, a bit of Cranium. When there’s a […]

A very, very quiet day today.

Anzac day tomorrow but no services for the general public so we made out own display like many others here. The idea is that we will stand at the gate at dawn and each family have its own service. A really nice idea, lets see how we all feel at 6 AM. We had fun […]

Interesting walk today, a long one. We have a pavement artist across the road: Saturday is Anzac Day (also 25th April is a special day in Portugal) A couple more ideas for Anzac Day We walked down a country road. And we phoned in a fire emergency call. Looks like the puzzle has an edge […]

Well, here we are, 4 weeks since we moved to Level 4 and everyone seems to be getting ready for Level 3 now. Started revision of the Moodle Developers Level 2 course today, due to start on May 1st. Not much to do with that one I hope. Usual walk but the Reserve at Matakitaki […]

It’s a real 3 steps forward 2 steps back kind of puzzle. But I still don’t have all the pieces out of the box yet. You would think those edges should be getting easier but not the way they’ve cut this one. We had a session on paper airplanes with Ana today as part of […]

How lucky are we to have Jacinda as a leader at this time? Watching the senile ramblings of certain other leaders makes me so glad to be here. So we go for another week and then open up a bit. Good to see construction getting underway and an expansion of online services. If you think […]

Saturday and a little catching up on my latest Coursera course. Then called away to the ice cream shop ($2 ice cream cones, not bad). Some of us tried wii dancing afterwards, luckily I couldn’t photograph myself. We’ve also started a competition in share trading. Vicky, Mike and I put 300 NZD into an app […]
