Lovely choir night as always...we rehearse 'Black is the Colour' ,a rollicking Henry VIII song called 'Pastimes Good Company' and a medieval favourite of mine..'Alle psaillite'
We have a meeting re house progress with Paul and Rosalie on Wednesday..very productive decision making process.
Love the Lotus Eaters display
Narns and Jark come over for dinner..as Hannah starts her 4 week prac in Launceston on Monday..so I want to see them before she goes..tom and Jark have an intense Minecraft time together...much to Tom's delight.
Thursday is dreary day but I go down to garden...we get alot of weeding done , move the chooks and enjoy lunch before we disband due to the cold!!.
Thursday evening John goes down to scout hall with Tom and sorts books for Sunday.
Friday we have another meeting with Paul and Rosalie to follow-up on window decisions..we really feel like things are moving along now.
Friday night we all go down to scout hall and spend about 4 hours sorting/unpacking books..very tiring. Glad to get home to bed.
Saturday we have a slow start and decide not to go up on the hill today. John wants to do more at the Scout hall and I have some chores that need doing at home. I have fun re-doing my photo board in the kitchen.
It is a lovely day ..
Tom and I drop off a cake to the school hall. The folk festival launch is on tonight and Swansong are doing supper to fund raise.
Beautiful afternoon.
Saturday evening we head into town to see the Opera Australia touring performance of 'The Magic Flute'.. Pre theatre dinner at Sakura is delicious...thanks for the tip Jark!!
The show is fabulous fun...wonderful music.. it is an abridged version sung in English so it is not too long..just 2 hours with a 20 minute interval. Tom loves it. The staging is very Indiana Jones...and it works brilliantly.
Sunday we are up at 6am and go down to the Scout hall before 7...I come back up town to help my friend Kate unpack her Market stall goods...then its back to the Scout hall where we man the books all day.. We get a surprise visit from Narns and Jark..lovely to see them. Hannah will head to Lonnie this arvo.
The sun shines and we do well...total raised is about $7,500...the books pull in $510...a record amount for that section..(So I'm guessing we will be on books next year!!). We bought alot of books for the shop too.
We enjoyed the social de-brief drinks after the pack-up...good to get a feel for how everyone thought the day went..and talk about what we could do better.
Home to have a very quiet evening and collapse into bed.
Poor Ben is not so well this week..with a nasty cold and cough..(poor mum and dad too!!)
But he is still my darling boy..
