Good to get out on the hills again this evening to make the most of the last of the light evenings. Clocks go back tomorrow. A steady recovery walk up Kakepuku. I forgot to take my phone so missed out on the stunning views from atop Kakepuku. Managed to snap a sunny shot from a moving car on the way home (I wasn’t driving!) so made it look better using Prisma.

A long day today. Meetings started at 8.00am and the day finished with an ‘unconference’ at Hamilton Junior High School. Enjoyed chatting to old friends and meeting new ones and sharing ideas.
Managed to get to Craft just in Timetime for 3BT! I like this photo of Nigel even though his eyes are closed.

Our washing machine has broken. Throwback to happy student days sitting in the launderette keeping warm! I took Aonghas – important rite of passage learning how to wash in a launderette!

The day after the day before. Tired. Mixed feelings. Another Oxfam medal but it doesn’t seem so special when we didn’t finish as a full team. On the other hand I am proud that the three of us picked ourselves up and managed to get in under last year’s time after we lost Jo at 65km.

Oxfam trailwalk. A big day. Anticipation, excitement, disappointment, emotion. 100km done and dusted.

Perfect weather for a long walk but this afternoon just a stroll along the beach to get some fresh air. I even had a swim in the sea – surprised how warm it still is. Hopefully get a chance to have another dip before the end of the weekend. One more sleep.

Two sleeps to go! After 3 hours in a car and 3 and a half hours sitting down in a school today, a walk to the pub for 3 beer Thursday seemed to beckon! Glorious sunset. This beer was called Yellow Eye.
