Squalls

Woke to terrible news from Christchurch - but not an unavoidable natural disaster this time.

Went out intending to walk a bit further than the local shop, but encountered a bitter squall (icy rain being thrown in the face) so thought better of it. The sky looks deceptively blue - those clouds were really scudding past at a rate of knots and dumping their contents every five minutes or so.

More green ink was expended - gosh, it's so much easier on this fancy new iPad. Almost a pleasure to mark their assignments!
