I no longer have ANY showers on Mondays or Wednesdays. But I have two on both Tuesday and Thursday. This is because dragon boating finishes at 8 and we have to bus back, by the time we do so it’s too late to have a shower. The only shower in our house that we are allowed to use is our parent’s one (as ours is undergoing maintenance) and they are in bed by the time we get back. Dakara no showers on Mondays or Wednesdays.
Sunday was possibly one of the most busiest days of my life in which I ran A LOT… and this was on top of dragon boating. Ok. So we finish dragon boating and get dropped of in Newmarket by Emma (yay Emma!) to catch the bus back. The bus is coming in 13mins and I need to wee. Dash over to the Westfield opposite us and when we get back all the cars have disappeared… huh, that’s weird I thought to myself… and THEN there are all these road cones and people in yellow flasher-jackets… IT’S THE AUCKLAND CUP WEEK PARADE! There were horses crapping everywhere and little kids doing handstands and stuff… anyway. This meant that our bus WAS NOT coming… We were going to watch the hockey game Black Sticks vs India.
Grabbed some lunch and after a VERY frustrated explosion in my head THE BUS ACTUALLY ARRIVED. We were actually WALKING AWAY from the bus stop when we saw it coming. When we were running back we laughing in a spastic kind of way. From Botany RAN(!) back home and jumped in the car to the game.
The game was cool to watch. We were there for both of the goals that were scored… both by India. Or was it three? I don’t know… It was pretty mean to watch and the Indian fans made everything interesting. At the end when the Black Sticks lost the crowd ran onto the field to surround the Indian team and the BS were all alone and hanging their heads… Meh.
After this we went over to the Military Tattoo (whatever that is) and we saw Army things… yes I am being vague.
