Our last night of dog-sitting was as unproblematic as the other two. Young L and his three co-actors went to Wellington on Thursday where they were being rated against kids from schools around the country doing a 15 minute scene from a Shakespeare play, chosen by the actors or the teacher involved. The judges chose the best in a number of different aspects; there was no first place overall. Avondale College's four did a scene from Loves Labours Lost, and were adjudged as best in audience engagement. We had seen that when they performed to gain entry to the National Finals. Two very proud grandparents.

Both yesterday and again this morning I had an early morning jog, and both times I took a photo of the early morning sky. This morning I was able to add three birds to my list of different birds photographed this year.
