Kayaking

Laura was working yesterday but the rest of us decided to try kayaking on Narrabeen Lagoon, so we headed down there mid-morning to hire out some for an hour. There were no singles available so we ended up taking 2 doubles out and proceeded to zig-zag around a small part of the lagoon! There was a race going on which we had to avoid and it seemed a struggle to get anywhere fast, so more practice needed here...

Today I went out with Laura for an hour's driving lesson - she's been out with an instructor for 5 lessons so far and with Sue a number of times, so this was the first with me. She did well and particularly excelled at some fast emergency stops! We then had Jane, Clive and Emily over for lunch and a relaxing afternoon of chat.
