Up to Palmerston North for Christmas with my Aunt and co. It’s always such a welcome escape to get up there. I was put to ask (immediately ;) setting up a wireless network for them…, still, I got my revenge, the SSID is CIA_security_van_number_two. Fairs fair ;)
I didn’t take enough pictures (so apologies to Hannah and Miriam who are missing from the above!). It’s amazing how fast the kids grow – and personalities evolve and emerge. No, I still refuse to miss my nieces and nephews ;) (not!) :)
We went for walks, and took in the shared garden that Mary cultivates.
Chris (brother) almost ruined my break by posting the following question:
Roughly how much power do you think the sun emits? I worked it out, but was about 5 orders of magnitude out.
I cheated, and asked William for guidance. We were about 3* out… which is pretty good. My issue was not having a unit to start with.. William roughly knew the amount of energy sunlight has on 1m squared of land per second, and he also knew how many light minutes we are from the sun… after that it’s eeeassssyyyy.
Fun and games.
