After a day working with teachers I unwound in the pub. Shame the Chiefs didn’t win against the Lions but good to see the hand pull pump finally working.

A day working with inspiring teachers again. Today I was in Taupō. Got ready to go for a run at the end of the day to find I had left my shoes at home! Went for a swim instead. A tad chilly but refreshing and beautiful – swimming with ducks!

Surprisingly, my legs feel ok…maybe the pain will be delayed until tomorrow? Went for a gentle stroll around the lake while Gus was at hockey training. Turned into a beautiful morning but the ducks were slow to wake up!

Bit off a bit more than I could chew today! I should have stuck to my gut feeling and turned around earlier but I went with Jo and Paula all the way to Waotu South which meant I had to come all the way back! Had to dig deep for the last 5km!
So, 31km under my belt. Wonder if I’ll be able to walk tomorrow! We are lucky to have the Waikato River Trails on our doorstep though!

After a long day in workshops, I was ready to curl up on the sofa in front of the fire. But we had tickets to see Tami Nielson and boy, did she wake me up! What a stunning voice and a brilliant show. Also discovered another cool little venue tucked away in The Tron. Shh! Not telling.

Early morning walk around the lake. A beautiful sunrise, delicate pink and a still lake.

A parcel I sent to the UK in January has come back to me. Undelivered. I wonder what tales it has to tell?

Still study leave. Still procrastinating. Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.

First of the Strategic Thinking Roadmap workshops. I love working with teachers – such rich conversations. I feel very privileged.

The winterless north certainly delivered today. The sky is blue and the sun is warm but there is a chill wind (it is winter after all!) We stopped on the way home at a view point.
