ANZAC Day
5am - Alarm goes off - time to get up for the dawn service.
I hadn't been to one for a couple of years, possibly to my love of sleep, and usually not waking up until 8am. A brisk but dry morning, Ant and I went to the Lower Hutt service, held at the memorial at the library. The last post sent shivers down my spine as it always seems to. Good to see a variety of ages, and many children and grand children wearing their relations medals. Ange told me of protesters at the Wellington service. Things like that make me angry. The protesters have no idea what the men went through to defend their country, and their service should be celebrated. They only get one day!
On another note, last Saturday was Brad's (future nephew) first soccer game of the season. He played an awesome game and won player of the day. Well done!
Also went to Andrea's baby shower. Was a pleasant affair, and Andrea seems to be growing by the day. Lots of presents, all should be very useful. Good there were no horror stories of birth told, it was all good stories, and not too many cheesy games. The best one was name the baby animal.
DID you know: A baby cockroach is called a nymph?
The rest of ANZAC day was spent having a lovely brunch and catch up with Kate and Ange at Go Bang. Ange has started a list on what to do before she is 30. Im thinking it could be a good idea...what to put in the list???? We also put our voucher money on the payment for our wedding rings, and sorting out my storage unit. Who knew one person could have so much stuff!
Today was back to school - blah. Had parent teacher interviews for Year 10's tonight. Only had 7 interviews. Not a particularly great year group, so was a blessing. Must have been the earliest Ive come home from interviews, YAY! Thank god tomorrow is Friday!
GO THE HIGHLANDERS TOMORROW NIGHT!!!
