Monday 9th March: A cool day but sunny and breezy. When we got up it was only 8 degrees outside so autumn is definitely with us now. Steve went fishing all day with our neighbour but they caught nothing.
We schooled in the morning. Today we read the story of the wise man and the foolish man and where they built their houses, and the boys drew some excellent illustrations for this.
Later in the day we went to the library and the boys then all went to gymnastics, then dashed home for a quick tea before delivering Edward to Cubs. I then went to Taekwon-do - the first training I have been to since I graded 3 months ago. I'm typing this while I can still move, but my shoulders are slowly seizing up after too many press-ups!
The photo is, of course, of a tea bag! Some of you will know that the tea bags here are poor. No, actually they're appalling! I get through several cups of tea a day and it makes me a much nicer mummy and teacher. If you use a Kiwi tea bag it takes about 2 weeks for the water to colour any deeper than golden syrup colour! In the week since we returned from holiday three different friends have sent some english tea bags in the post for me to enjoy. Thank you so much. This blog entry is dedicated to you!!!
HMMM that looks familiar ... in fact I rather think it is a Tetley !!!
