Day 170, 171

Day 171 - Wednesday - We went to a party last weekend, and the host made these pizza things using mexican tortillas for bases. He only had a tomato base, carmelised onions and cheese on them. They were sooo good I had to make my own... with abit of bratwurst sausage thrown on the top.

Day 170 - Tuesday - I have a heavy class load on Tuesdays this semester, requiring an early rise to get the boys ready for school and packed off to Kobi's mates house before 8am so I can catch a bus, get into Uni, buy a hot chocolate and download my notes before 9am class. The weathers been spectacular, and as I walked past the kitchen window the sky was a brilliant glow.

Day 168, Day 169

Day 169 - Monday - My mother made this, its called Texas slice, or something. Its bloody good. Its got curly coconut, sultanas, walnuts, and chocolate bound together with condensed mild on a base of smashed up malt biscuits.

Day 168 - Sunday - After a night out, and the boys stayed at mums, we went back to her house for dinner. Lounging in the late afternoon sun is always a lovely end to the weekend.

Day 165, 166, 167

Day 167 - Saturday - Solaris Collective Day. I nearly missed it by sleeping in. Lucky. 8.01am in Auckland, now waiting to see the pictures by everyone else in the world.

Day 166 - Friday - Dunno why Im enthralled with the roadworks on Symonds St on campus, but the new planting looks so pretty. I thought I would document before thousands of horrible students stand all over them crossing the street and trample them to death.

Day 165 - Thursday - Kate and I had lunch before I commenced 4 hours of afternoon lectures which don't finish till 6pm. On the bus home I saw the f'ing great big moon in the sky. The bus driver noticed me takin pics and turned off the lights inside so I could get a better shot. This with Khyber Pass and the motorway underneath gigantor full moon.

Day 162, 163, 164

Day 164 - Wednesday - I bothered to get dressed up. I was meeting my old friend Lila for lunch. We haven't seen each other since we were about 18, it was really wonderful to connect and share old stories again. I hope to see her more in the future.

Day 163 - Tuesday - Maori 271, Maori and the Media. Neuton my bro, is looking at me and saying woah did you just take a picture? We had a guest speaker from Maori TV, the head of aquisitions and commisioning, very very interesting.

Day 162 - Monday - the ressurection. I had these done just before Jessica came over but I haven't photogrpahed till now. After 40 years, and an extreme amount of abuse, I finally had the kitchen chairs recovered. White vinyl, just like they used to be. I want sparkles in it but they didn't have any fabric like that. Never mind, job ticked off finally.

Day 161

Day 161 - Sunday - After some very innocent Sunday morning hi jinks involving Seb stealing Duvet and me trying to tickle his feet, he fell off the edge and came down on the sidebar and this happened. It split clean in half. Not good enough for a bed that is only 5 months old!!! its completely mothered. Now waiting for shop person to turn up and 'assess' it. Assess my middle finger Target and give me a new sidebar.

Day 158, 159, 160

Day 160 - Saturday - First day of August. One more month of Winter left. This picture is the birth of the Solaris Collective, another photo project in which next Saturday morning 8am NZ time as many people as can be bothered are going to take photos of the sun shining where they are, and then we are going to post them on Facebook. An excersize in making the distance between us even smaller.

Day 159 - Friday - I helped Amy take Isabel to the doctor, shes showing me her Maths prowess while we wait for our turn.

Day 158 - Thursday - Sociology of the media stage 3. That is my lecturer Natalie talking to my tutor Anthony and my classmate Robin. this is my last class of the day on a Thursday. It is heavily based in Marxist theory, but at only week 2 we have a ways to go yet.
