- From upstairs, the sound of a metal spoon being whacked on the edge of a glass bowl means that Jack and the girls have gone ahead with the plan to bake.
- The Johnsonville Library has set up a corner for a Knitting Bee. There are a couple of armchairs, a basket of wool and needles, and instructions and a template for peggy squares. A sign on the window explains that there will be some refugees arriving in Wellington on 17 June, and that the squares will be made into blankets for their beds. Library visitors are invited to sit down and contribute a square or even a few rows.
- I take Becca to meet her new cousin James at the hospital. At two days old, he's the size of a loaf of bread, with a tiny, red, scrunched-up face like a bemused turtle. He has rather a lot of hair, the colour of liquid honey.
