Tuesday 21st July: Today began with an amazing sunrise sky, then a nor'wester came in so temperatures rose to 17 degrees (!) with sun all day (great to dry the washing) but then just after dark an enormous storm arrived with thunder, heavy rain that flooded the gutters, and hailstones.
Steve returned to work and the boys and I got on with some schooling. One of our topics this week is blood and circulation, and we also enjoyed starting to learn a song called "If I were a butterfly". At lunchtime we walked into town to meet the solicitor to sign the papers for the house, then home for lunch. After lunch we walked back into town and changed library books and got some milk at the supermarket.
The boys played in the garden when we got home and then I made a curry and ginger biscuits for tea. The boys went off to bed as Steve got home from work and I went out to a gym club meeting.
The photo is of the Boer War memorial in town, which is dedicated to the one Waimatian that died there, an Alfred Whitney. Our new house is in Whitneys Road, named after him, so I wanted the boys to visit this memorial and understand this.
