Around 3.30 this afternoon I heard a light knock on my door and there was Jen - out of uniform (rebel without a library cause!) - with Hudson and the stroller in tow. I knew exactly what was on offer, grabbed my hat and wallet and out the college gates we snuck... after waving politely to the Training Principal as he drove in that is!
We had a quick laugh and went on our merry way in search of chocolate, diet coke and a coffee on the way home. Chocolate we found, diet coke I consumed (the latest Woman's Day somehow slid it's way into my purchases - are Jen and Brad really back together??!) and coffee we stopped for briefly at the Lighthouse cinema just around the corner from home.
Feeling a slight pang of guilt but refreshed and a little more in the mood to hit the books we decided to set out for home.... only to feel the full force of Wellington's weather. A slight shower made us walk a little faster. Mix that with Wellington's wind however and 5 minutes later, 2 drowned rats and a rather subdued 2 year old slunk back in the gates - coffee now luke warm, the back page of my cultural reading matter in tatters but laughing almost uncontrollably!
After this afternoon it is probably quite fair to say that those that slink off during Timetabled Study Time for coffee and sight-seeing, WILL BE JUDGED!!!

Get use to the weather Neighbour cause it doesn't get any better now, wait until winter time, snow frost rain wind and then you'll have to get up real early for morning duties where you get a combination of all of the above and... well you'll see for yourself.
By the way, have you brought an umbrella yet? Comes in handy for the awesome Upper Hutt weather kuz.
It's so good to read about your goings on down there!
I am personally well pleased to hear that you had a good laugh today - it's amazing what a good laugh will do for you!
Hope your week brings many more bouts of laughter.
I reckon it's more to do with the trashy mag than the sneaking off..... U must get yourself something decent to read! Heathen!
