Had a far better time of it with the boys seated at smaller desks today – they looked far more comfortable than they were perched at the diningroom table where their noses almost touched their books. Finished around 12 (while I had about three loads of curtain-washing going) and then the boys disappeared to play outside in the dirt. I had to forbid them coming back inside at one point because they were so filthy! They sure did have fun though, digging in a vacant vegetable patch and making tracks for their Hotwheels (a revived craze for them). When Nick got home from his day’s work at the church he suggested going out to take advantage of the afternoon sun – a much paler version than we are used to on St Helena. We took a short drive south to the outskirts of Timaru, to a part of the coast where heaps of driftwood washes up, making for an interesting excursion. Came upon a rather sad find of a dying seal, apparently not uncommon.

That slanted early morning/late afternoon sun will be wonderful for photography.
Very sad about the seal.
