Gold panning …..

….. ….. ….. in the Arrow River this afternoon.
Those guys were hard at work, and all togged up for the cold water. I didn’t find out if they’d found any gold but it’s possible. I’ve never tried.

Church this morning and I played my flute again. People made some wonderful comments afterwards which I’m always uncomfortable about - but isn’t it lovely of them! I’m sure they’re genuine too. I do need to practise though.
Those high notes were really breathy.

Lunch out with friends, a walk up the Arrow (mostly under shady trees) with Missy, and then goodbyes to a neighbour who is off to Antarctica via the Subantarctic Islands tomorrow, for a month’s voyage. Wowzers. How fabulous.
