Saturday 21st March: When the weather girl said last night it would rain today I was delighted. We were due to do a TKD demonstration at a school fete and I'd rather not have to do it. But the day dawned warm and sunny. In the morning we had a BIG clear-up in the playroom and rediscovered the carpet underneath. By lunchtime it was cooling fast, the wind was blustery and clouds were building up. But they blew over and it remained a sunny but chilly day. We popped round to friends after lunch and then walked to the school fete. The TKD demo went well and at the end of it I broke my board on second attempt. The boys had fun watching a joint fire and ambulance service (both are voluntary in NZ) demonstration of cutting a car up to rescue someone. Then we queued up to have hot dogs for tea. A year ago we had some hot dogs and were surprised by what we were served. We were surprised a second time today. In NZ a hot dog is a small meat-flavoured sausage covered in batter, on a lolly stick. Most odd, but there was nothing else on offer so that's what we had.
The photo is from the TKD demo. I'm on the left with the green belt. I obviously surprised Steve by jumping higher than he expected as he seems to have missed my head!
