Makarora

Today was Makarora. Today was both a good day and a bad day. It was a bad day because we decided to go swimming in the glacier-water filled river which was so bitterly cold that my toes went blue. But it was a good day because Tannith introduced us to the fantastic recipe of broccoli, bacon, pesto, crème cheese and pasta. Try it.

It was also a bad day because today was the day that Lukas' girlfriend emailed him to say she wasn't able to wait for him to come home, and thus wanted to break up (we don't like her very much!). But it was a good day because tonight was Karaoke night!

I like karaoke night because all my favourite kind of people also get excited by karaoke night. Not because they can necessarily sing and not because they necessarily know any of the words. But because it creates an incredible buzz, makes everybody laugh and lets everybody join in.

And for those who are wondering – yes I was horrendous, and no I didn't stop singing when I should have.
