"ay is for horses"


Thursday 26th March: Yet another sunny and warm day. We went down to horse-riding in Oamaru and, as usual, got some shopping and had lunch at Subway. When we got home we did our schooling. Jonathan finished his maths workbook. It is an American programme we are using for maths at the moment, and each workbook is one year's work. Jonathan has just finished his in 6 weeks! Our bible story today was the Raising of Lazarus and we learnt a little more about reptiles too.
From that we rushed off to Waimate Athletics club at Victoria Park (where else!) and the boys did sprints, relay races and long jump and then ended wth once round the outside of the track as always.
Now we are home and dinner is cooking and the kettle is on for a relaxing cup of tea.
The photo is of more harvesting taking place in the fields around Waimate. Those who had not finished before the heavy rain in February are still trying to catch up. The overnight dew means the harvest cannot take place until the afternoons when the humidity levels of the grain have dropped. These fields are owned by Edward's Cub leader.
