An ordinary day


Wednesday 22nd April: A crisp night down to about 1 degree. A sunny day, nice in the sun, max temperature about 16 degrees. We schooled in the morning. Our new project started this week is hearing and sound.
After lunch we took Sunshine the canary back to the childcare (nursery) after a 2 week stay with us, then walked to the post shop, supermarket and library (we have 108 books out at the moment!). From there the boys played in the playground of one of the local schools. All the schools here have superb play areas with climbing/sliding/swinging equipment, and they are all different from each other. Once the schools finish at 3pm, and over the school holidays, they are open for anyone to use. So we do. We use the play areas in one park and three of the schools, all within a 10 minutes walk from home.
Tea was salmon fishcakes followed by coconut cookies - very yummy.
The photo is of the Waimate Post Office building in the centre of town. I love the colour of the this building, and it looks so grand, nearly 100 years after it was built. Currently the building is used as the Visitor Information Centre, and the new post shop is in a small modern, single-storey building next door.
