Did 2 hours flute practice, occassionally imitating the Tuis, who would imitate me, what musical cross species fun that is!
Spent a lot of the day with Bernie, went to the Parapara River to collect riverbed stones for his garden, quartz, shist, mudstones and metamorphosed rocks and bits of iron slag washed down from the old iron workings, then after dinner at home, went out to the Mussell Inn to listen to some 'live' music which wasn't that interesting. The Mussell Inn is a pretty cool place though.

Then back to Bernie's house, played his Roland digital piano and drank some wine. Bernie's a dentist and nice guy, his girlfriend Sharon is real cool too, but she's gone back to Christchurch, so we've been keeping each other company and it's been good to hang out with him.

Got to bed about 4am.
