It's Friday again! How the weeks just fly by, the older one gets the quicker time flies. The week has been a relatively good one, it has been Amanda's birthday week and started with a dinner party at their (Darren and Amanda's) flat on Monday night and will end with a party tonight (also at their flat).
Other exciting happenings for the week: The family acquired a new laptop computer (Mainly used by Evan and Irene, I'm still happy with my desktop). Evan’s concert band has got into the finals of a secondary school band competition involving schools from all over NZ; they will be performing on Sunday at the Auckland city hall. Talking about Evan, he is a very modest young man; we found out last night, by accident, that his English teacher entered one of his exam essays into a writing competition involving all the secondary schools on the North Shore (12 in all). Well, we are proud to say that he has been placed in the top four. We will be attending a function on Monday when they will announce the winner, we will be holding thumbs. (Watch this site; I may persuade him to let me publish the essay).
It is starting to get light earlier in the mornings now and the sound of the birds singing lifts my spirits. Summer is on the way.
