2.54 Walk around the bays

I ran/walked the 7km AMI Round the Bays fun run/walk. The weather was slightly cool and overcast - great event weather. I kinda wish that I'd done some running training as I wanted to run more. I signed up as part of the Les Mills team which was a great idea. I do these events for 2 reasons - 1. to run on the road. I fucking love running on the road. (Especially in the middle so as to avoid the camber.); 2. To eat a sausage inna bread. YUM.

2.61 Buy some yellow things that I can wear

I have a yellow singlet, a yellow scarf, a yellow belt, and yellow nailpolish. I'd really like some yellow shoes at some point as well. (I have blue jandals with yellow straps which are okay for now.) I never thought I suited yellow but it turns out I don't suit mustard. Bright yellow is good. #socheerful

2.95 Take a cake to work

Done. My work colleague gave me some lemons so I made a madeira cake. It uses lemon zest. It wasn't very lemony (I like a lot of lemon) so to make up for it I iced it in virulent yellow lemon icing.Next time I'm going to pour lemon syrup over it.
Points to note about madeira cake:
- Firm cake. Almost like it's gone stale, even when fresh.
- Great with tea.
- Sometimes eaten for breakfast.

2.42 Complete a year of te reo classes

Just signed up for the second year - Advanced Beginners. I signed up with Te Ataarangi who use full immersion (except for tea time). It was fantastic! The teaching style is very caring and patient. Get something wrong - no worries, give it another go after cracking up at it. My favourite thing was to watch other people change from saying hardly anything in a quiet voice, to being much stronger in their presentation. So now I can understand basic sentences - the day I realised I could understand the welcome speeches at work was the day everything changed for me. I need to learn some more vocab though.
Ka rawe!
