Tonight we braved the fireworks display at Weston - a local fundraiser for the local school. Weston school is not one that our kids attend, but one of the schools that I visit with work. Every year we make the trip out there to view the fireworks display at dusk. It was typically freezing, despite many layers of clothing and some blankets. We enjoyed the display but couldn't help compare it with the Disneyland display. It just wasn't quite the same without the laser lighting, Tinkerbell and the music. All said and done though the display was by far the best so far that we have seen, and the fireworks seemed to go higher in the sky this time.
The kids enjoyed meeting up with their friends and also had tons of fun with glow sticks and bangles.
It was planned for yesterday evening but the inclement weather meant that it was postponed until tonight. It was a shame as there were noticeably less people present.
I am starting to come back to reality and life in Oamaru. I dislike the cold here, and am still struggling with the queen size bed. It just is too small.
Richard has been unwell since we have been back and has a nasty infection in his lower shin. We are unsure where he picked it up from, but it looks like a spider bite. I am just tired and still feel jet lagged.
Today we started editing all our holiday photos and videos. It is fun re looking at them and bringing the memories alive again.
Tomorrow we have a mothers group picnic with games like we use to play as kids e.g egg and spoon races, and three legged races. I am looking forward to the family time and some fun. The mothers group that I belong to is a lovely group of woman with whom you can always be assured of a good laugh.
Anyway it is late and well past bedtime - my body is still operating on a US timetable. I think it is an unconscious way of saying move to the states.
Goodnight all
