A grey wet week..then the sun shines!!

Monday is a chilly day..
We get the fire going then it's heads down with orders all day long... A very full-on day.
Tom doesn't have scouts tonight due to the weekend festivities...so we do a bit of homework. One task is to practise his knot tying...he does pretty well.

 

A relaxed evening..

Tuesday and the rain is back..its a cool one again today.

 We have a pretty slow morning...but sell some books.
I go over and help in Tom's class after lunch... A lot happening...Christmas concert rehearsals/ card making and organising of Christmas gifts for families..
Choir tonight is not so inspired as Helen is a bit ambitious...and we labour for 2 hours with the harmony parts of a new piece...never quite getting it together...a bit disappointing.

Wednesday and the rain has been coming down all night.
I head into town to do some shopping and catch up with Hannah for early lunch..

John has had a quiet day with a few good book sales and some orders..
The rain eases and the sun makes an appearance so I walk the Golf Course circuit after dinner..
Not long after I'm back the rain pelts down again!!

Thursday and we wake to pelting rain again..
I decide not to go to garden as I have a few things I have to do..pretty wet anyway..
Hannah drops in for an overnight visit...
Tom is going to Kington this evening with the scout group. There is a Questacon exhibition at the Sports Centre..should be fun. John and I decide not to drive him this time...and Tom is happy for us not to be there..
Hannah cooks us a delicious dinner and I bake a cake..
Tom arrives in full of things to tell us...
Hannah and I do a movie...then off to bed.

Friday and though the clouds are still here ...there is no rain this morning..
We may even get to 15 degrees today...a scorcher!
Getting a bit tired of wearing winter clobber.
Hannah and I have a walk to Martin's Point halfway through the day..

A quiet morning..so John makes an Urtica urens gel and we fill and pack..
The sun comes out by late afternoon...

I walk up to the pub to have drinks with the girls...but no-one is there today...a nice walk anyway.
Glad to be home and snuggle down for the night.

Saturday and it's a stunningly beautiful sunny day.
Fantastic morning for Tom's sailing.
John and I go to a Garage sale where John picks up a couple of good clamps..
I get a few jobs done while John reads the paper...then Thomas is picked up from sailing and we go to the Huon Show.
Gorgeous day for it..we enjoy wandering around.

I end up working at the St James stall for an hour or so..selling raffle tickets and 'show bags' while the boys do the rounds..

 View from the St James stall

 

We take in the sights then head home via bakery where we have late lunch.

I enjoy a walk while Tom is at work then its dinner and 'Lord of the Rings Pt 2

Sunday...another glorious day...
Great for washing...
We do the markets...John and Tom make some more arrows for Tom's bow...then we go up on the hill to cut gorse.
We find a lovely shady spot to set up 'camp'...Tom enjoys practising his archery while John and I work...

 Then he too does a bit of gorse work...good on you Tom.

Lovely spot for lunch..

then we make our way back up to the car after hacking at one more gorse.
It's such a lovely day..I get the boys to drop me at the Sailing club so I can walk home along the foreshore..

We have a quiet afternoon and I take another walk around Burton's Reserve after dinner as the lovely evening is calling me outside..
A quiet night enjoying John reading the new adventure book.."The Rangers' Apprentice"
