Friday is pink t shirt day- a year 13 student, whose mother I taught, tells me my shirt is a bit short, even with a cami underneath. Georgia's got no filter. I'm OK with that.
Celebrated annually around the globe, Pink Shirt Day began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying, after a peer was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. In Aotearoa, Pink Shirt Day works to create schools, workplaces, communities and whānau where everyone feels safe, valued and respected.
Saturday is Hasy and Ros's party. With all the lights Hasy has organised, it's a bit like going clubbing. I get Sharyn and her wheelchair in and out with help. No way I can even help in the shoes I've got on. We both throw caution to the wind and it's an early morning getting to bed.
Sunday is slow. Greg calls to say he's working and we spend over an hour sorting picture frames. When he edits to add, he accidentally deletes details of the Fiordland pic and neither of us can remember to reinstate it. Time to give up. The beginning of the week crawls by, the after party effect, but I'm on deck to help with open evening. A stream of parents with next year's prospective Year 9's. Hope they are smarter than this lot. I return curtain fabric and pick up more. Shanna doesn't get anything done unless I remind her so I'll give her a couple of days then follow up. Good to start finishing another job but I've got fingers crossed- how much is too much for curtains? Thursday is a blood moon- in fact it's called a super flower blood moon. The eclipse takes about an hour and we check progress from the verandah. Thus endeth the week.

On the night of May 25-27, observers in Oceania, Hawaii, eastern Asia and Antarctica will see a lunar eclipse that coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth — making it a "supermoon" eclipse that will turn the moon reddish — also known as a "blood moon." (The dates of this eclipse span two days because the area it will be visible spans the international date line). Lunar eclipses occur when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth as the sun. Usually we see a full moon when this happens, but every so often the moon enters the Earth's shadow, resulting in an eclipse.
