my bad

Ooops, sorry - the milk we buy comes in TWO liter (litre?) bottles, hope I haven't indicated previously it came in one liter/litre bottles. Town centre is how you spell town center here. More on Kiwi expressions and/or spelling is coming to you from me at some point. We had more heavy rain today - and strong wind and since I prudently did not wear a raincoat my pants were soaked but fortunately I had a dry pair at home I could change into. The sun came out, looked around, then pulled its mantle of clouds back over its face. Last night, though, was brilliantly clear at least around 9 pm when I was leaving the home of a nice lady who hosts a group of meditators every second and fourth thursday. I had not done a group meditation in a long time and it was encouraging to learn I could sit still and (pretty much) stay awake for a forty-five minute meditation session. I did sit in a chair, because it is not comfortable for me to sit on the floor in even half-lotus position for very long (some stiffness from the Parkinson's, but moreso my poor bunged up right knee). Carrie had a relatively smooth flight to Palmerston North, which is in the south of the north island, two days ago, and it was pretty good coming back until they got close to Hamilton, where it turned a little bumpy - she could see through the cockpit window as the small planes don't have a door to the pilot's area - and the copilot was also the steward. Well I have to go pick up Emily from school so will blog you later. Thanks. Manford
