Whew

My first block of teaching is done, after 3 straight days of 9-5 lectures and labs. That was exhausting. Yesterday was the last day, and it coincided with the "storm of the decade" here in Auckland, with driving rain and gale force winds. I cut yesterday's class short so people could get home early - no one complained!

When I got home, the power was out, and stayed out for a few hours...thankfully we were able to light the gas stove with a match and hover in the kitchen as C made a big vat of soup. Mercifully the elec came back on before bedtime as it would have been a cold night!

Nonetheless, the weather is pretty dodgy here today so its a good day to head out to a cafe for a flat white (NZ version of a latte) and a mince pie.
