Tuesday 9th June: Grey and chilly, high of about 6 degrees today. My brother David tells me it was 42 degrees where he was in Istanbul - didn't need to know that!
Schooling went well in the morning - we started an online course around Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and also one in simple Spanish so we were busy all morning.
After lunch we walked into town to the library and the craft shop and had a snack at the Rainbow Dairy. While in town we spotted new notices banning riding bikes and skateboards along the pavement outside the shops. Compared with Gore's $20,ooo fine you get off lightly in Waimate - your 'transport' is confiscated and you have 3 days to find the $25 to get it back. Have no idea who is policing it, though, and the schoolkids were completely ignoring it.
Home in time to cook a warming curry for tea.
Steve had a long day at work catching up on paperwork that has mounted up while he has been away.
Regarding Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Fish boys, how is Prince Pondicherry referred to in Spanish? Senor?
