A very small chicken???


Jan 21st: Another warm day, about 27 degrees (sorry England but you can get me back later in the year!). We schooled in the morning then the boys had a swimming lesson at lunchtime. For some unknown reason Edward decided to drag his maths out today - 30 minutes of work took nearly 3 hours today and so he was working at it most of the afternoon and so we didn't get out to the park. I have the delight this evening of doing our tax returns so I expect I'll find lots of other things that need doing instead :) This photo is of "Sunshine" that Edward took and chose as today's photo. He is the canary at the Childcare Centre in Waimate. This is like nursery and is the only day care here (there's no out-of-school care or holiday schemes for school age children either). Jonathan has the occasional half-day there when someone calls sick but there's such a long waiting list he has no regular session. Sunshine comes to us for long weekends every now and then. His singing is amazing and he's very quiet overnight. He's currently staying with us for the 4 weeks the centre is closed over the holidays. The only problem is he likes to sing his loudest when we're schooling and he's in the kitchen with us so it can be a bit of a nuisance at times!
