Hail the holiday

It was Labour Day today - a public holiday for everyone in NZ except Nick, who works through holidays and special days otherwise his preparations fall behind. The boys and I pottered about at home; Victoria came to play violin in the morning which was a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy and overcast day. The weather was pretty weird actually - twice the sun broke through the clouds briefly and we thought it might clear, but both times we had hail within two minutes of the sunshine. Not very much hail, and not very big...but just enough to delight Aaron!
