Catching up

Keith & Ruth & Zack were back in Christchurch today, before they fly back to Sydney tomorrow for a couple of days and then on to South Africa. We met them for dinner at Le Cafe at the Arts Centre (the slow-cooked lamb shoulder was delicious, but the carrot cake was probably better at lunchtime). It was great to see them for a few hours and hear a bit about their travels around the south island. Sounds like they've had an awesome time, despite a few trials and tribulations along the way. I can't wait to see Keith's photos, once he's pared them back from the two or three thousand he currently has (and he's deleted loads already!) They're bound to appear on-line at some point.

This evening's not been all good though. I forgot that we now own an ottoman. I remembered in the dark as my foot tried to share the same space as it. And as any child who has studied maths but not reached fractions will tell you - two into one doesn't go.
