3rd Jan - Waiting for cafes to open

Another day walking the streets and awaiting the opening of cafes. Most are open tomorrow so after taking some extra cake shots at Midnight Espresso, accomodation, email catchup and general internetting were our task for the day. Having discovered that Te Papa have free internet access earlier in the week we decided to take Ruby there to play while we worked. This appealed to her in a big way so off we went.
The free wifi turned out to be a little harder than expected as finding a place that has a strong signal takes the patience of a very patient person. We had hoped to sit in the kids area but not a signal to be found there. As it was we took turns wandering the museum until we got a moment of connection, and watching Ruby make friends. Actually Ruby made a very good friend in Emma. They played for nearly 3 hours and then made plans to play tomorrow.

An easy day where we felt connected to each other and the world in a good way. It has been a hard road to hoe and as we are unsure what the year holds we are both a little fragile. The book project is fantastic and will lead on to new ventures...new ventures that will take time to generate income. So the dilemma becomes to focus on the creative and build on what we have already done...uncertain and scary...or miss that opportunity and get jobs that provide more certainty...and if so what. Suggestions welcome.
