What I did today...

So, today I did something I would never have thought I could. I'll give you a clue:

See that? That's Mauao. From the air! Out the window of a small aeroplane. Today I went flying with High. And I only cried once, when we took off. It's a lot like being attached to a string, being in a plane. You kind of bounce around and wibble around  in the air, but you are kind of suspended. Its pretty cool. So this post is really just going to be a slideshow of sorts, so please bear with me. Normal broadcasts will resume shortly.




So, here's High being all piloty and everything:

and filling the gas tank:

The plan was to fly to Taupo, then to White Island and then home, but there was something wrong with the radio thing (?!) so we couldn't go. Instead we flew around Tauranga and looked at stuff:

This is over Bethlehem, you can see Bethlehem College as the collection of white buildings towards the centre top of the photo.

And this is Matakana Island.

And here are a couple of photos that I don't know where I am at all:

Awesome eh?! I'm kind of excited to go again now. And absolutely bloody terrified!

As for the knitting, the Not Yellow Coat and I are having words today. First I miss-crossed a cable, so I had to drop back and pick it up right way round. Then, I knitted like a lunatic and only realised after 20 rows that I should have started to shape the neckline 10 rows before. I have only just finished ripping back and picking up... let's be honest here, I am not talking to this coat until it starts behaving itself, hmpf!
