Chinese Lantern Festival
We headed along to the Chinese Lantern Festival in Victoria Square, which seems to get bigger and bigger every year. Plenty of food stalls, plenty of people, and not surprisingly, plenty of lanterns. We didn’t stay until completely dark, with the kids getting a bit tired and cool as the temperature dropped, but very enjoyable; a hot-chocolate and a wander past the Chalice in Cathedral Square rounded things off nicely. The “Face Changer” was a particularly impressive performer on the stage in Victoria Square!

Ellesmere Sunset
A quick trip round to Lake Ellesmere for a potential sunset and a bit of sketching. We left it a bit late, making it a bit rushed when we got there, but still pleasant, and still enough time for Sheila to get a quick sketch in by moonlight.

8 logs down
Great progress down at Natural Log Homes, with the house up to the 8th log. Still a fair way to go with 2 more log rounds to go on, plus a fair bit of detail to finish off including supporting logs, window cut-outs, flyways, etc.

Weekend activities
Ruairi had a trip to Clip N Climb with his friend Cara from kindy (including deciding he wanted to jump the Leap of Faith!), and we had to run to keep up with the kids on their bikes on a "stroll" round Hansen park!

A boys day out at the Air Force Museum Open Day with Grandpa Mike. Enjoyable short air display with the Air Force parachute team jumping out of a Hercules, plus 2 Iroquois helicopters and a Harvard.

More Wednesday night racing
Lots of fun. Overcast evening, smaller crew, but all of us found it an unexpectedly enjoyable evening to be out. Close racing with the crew on Wildwood, and some nice shots of American Pie and Backlash.
