Feb 9th: What bizarre weather we are having. This morning it was already 29 degrees when we started schooling at 9am, with a strong hot north-westerly wind rushing past. But by lunchtime the wind had swung round to a southerly (straight up from the Antarctic) and it was 16 degrees and stayed that way the rest of the day. Too cold for a swimming lesson this afternoon so the boys played more train and car track games and we read some books together. Then later on it was gymnastics for all 3 boys. Edward and Peter went last year but Jonathan has just moved up to join them at 'big boy gym'. All the boys (5 of them; 3 are mine) are being coached this term by a 17 year old Waimate lad who came second in the national championships at the end of last year. They got to do rings, parallel bars and bar today so I expect their shoulders will ache tomorrow. A rush home, quick tea and run to Cubs for Edward. I'll get the younger two ready for bed and then go back for Edward at 7pm. I think Steve's keeping busy in the garage already building his next plane!!
The picture is of Edward in his Cub uniform. The pack has about 10 or 12 children and have a really busy and fun programme of activities.
