Afghans & Banana Muffins
cooking for the weekend .. some food for school
Played "Hide & Seek" with my school mates in New Zealand's national museum .. "Te Papa". Great fun but had to be careful we didn't get caught by the Security Guards !!!!!!
... also went to the movies " The Road to Guantanamo" .. thought provoking.
Chicken Salad for dinner
Movie Plot Summary:
In 2001, four Pakistani Britons, Ruhal Ahmed, Asif Iqbal and Shafiq Rasul and another friend, Monir, travel to Pakistan for a wedding and in a urge of idealism, decide to see the situation of war torn Afganistan which is being bombed by the American forces in retaliation for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Once there, with the loss of Monir in the wartime chaos, they are captured by Northern Alliance fighters. They are then handed them over the American forces who transport them to the prison camps at the Guantanamo Bay base in Cuba. What follows is three years of relentless imprisonment, interrogations and torture to make them submit to blatantly wrong confessions to being terrorists. In the midst of this abuse, the three struggle to keep their spirits up in that face of this grave injustice

Dragon Boat Festival - Sun 11 March
The Dragon Boat festival takes place over two days .. business teams on Saturday and the school teams on Sunday .. a lot of good fun. Joshua "wirehead" was in the Onslow College team. The boats load up in the lagoon and then make there way up to the start line and race about 500metres to the finish in front of the crowd. The schools have plenty of screaming supporters.
