The Wednesday with karate and Mike's return

Hi,

I rode home just in time to join Toby and Gramps at karate.  It's a grading coming up and we have to practise a lot with Toby.  He seems to have forgotten quite a bit since the last time.

We had a great dinner with Mum and Dad after karate.  Mum cooked up delicious macaroni cheese and we all ate heaps of it.  Then Toby and I were off to tramping club to return the billies from last weekend and Mike met us there from his flight.  Toby and I were sitting in the car reading our books.  Toby didn't feel like going to the club night.  Although when we approached the building to return the billies he said he loved the tramping club.  Great people he said.

Anyhow...  It turns out that the reason Mike was so stressed about the conference he was attending up in Auckland was because he was speaking at it!  He never said!  He was muttering about having no time to prepare for it and would need to do it on the plane.  And I was thinking "Ok.  Weird to worry about choosing what talk you'll attend but never mind".  Mike said it went very well.  I hope he cultivates this habit for a lifestyle change in about 15 years where I join him as he swans around the world talking at conferences and I visit the various tourist highlights in the vicinity.  Heheheh.

Busy day today.  Better get stuck in.
Love
Angela
