Our house


Jan 27th: Some rain overnight and a cooler (21 degrees) breezy day, great for getting all the beach clothes dried on the line. The boys schooled in the morning. This week we are studying Japan on our trip round the world. If you're wondering how our carrot experiment is going that we set up a few days ago, well the carrot tops in water have grown new leaves, now about 2 inches tall. The boys are amazed. It was boiled eggs for lunch (need to use up the ones laid while I was away over the weekend). In the afternoon we returned Sunshine the canary, went to the Postshop, supermarket and library and then home. The boys are digging in their sandpit as I write this. They are making their own pizzas for tea tonight, and I think I'll make ice-cream (more eggs!). The photo is of the house we are living in. We face north, which is good here in upside-down land. As you can see there is a lot of glass so the lounge is typically 36 degrees in the evening in summer, and in the winter the sun helps to give some warmth to the front of the house.
