Tuesday 17th March: A warm sunny day. We trudged through our school work this morning so there was some to finish off after lunch. This week we are learning about ducks. For Jonathan's birthday he had a 'duck egg' that you submerge and a duck emerges from the egg in the next day or so. His went in the water today and he keeps checking it every few minutes and announcing another crack has appeared, etc etc.
After school we walked to one of the local schools and the boys played on their fabulous playground for an hour. Now we're home and the trout is in the oven. Our neighbour Jeanette is joining us for tea tonight, then I have a gymnastics club committee meeting later.
The photo is of some berries on a tree near our house. Many of the trees, birds and plants in NZ are not familiar to us. The boys spotted the berries of this one soon after we arrived in Waimate at the end of March last year. They enjoyed picking up the berries and throwing them. We have no idea what the tree is called, so the boys named it the "Splat-the-Bing-Bong-Bo Tree" and that's what we still call it.
