Sunday 10th May: It was Mother's Day here, and Happy Mother's Day to you too Sue, in US. Last evening's rain continued all night and all day today. It was bitterly cold and snow down to 200m. The Hunter Hills in front of our house had snow on them. The ski fields are doing well too, although the ski season doesn't start until early July.
At 8.20am I went to Timaru for my TKD grading. There were 25 students grading from two schools, many of them white belts doing their first grading. We were busy showing our skills, power and spirit for more than 2 hours and I was exhausted from all the running, kicking, press-ups and sit-ups, as well as the techniques and movement patterns we had to show. Great news - I passed and so I am now a Blue Belt!
I got home for lunch and we had a quiet afternoon while the rain and sleet continued to fall. For tea Steve grilled the dogfish he and the boys had caught the other day, and flapjack and custard for pudding.
The photos are of the view from our front doorstep showing the snow on the hillside, Jonathan enjoying a bubbly bath, and the Waimate TKD students after the grading.
