Thursday 23rd April: Another sunny day. We did an hour of schooling then walked to the library for another storytime session and crafts. We picked up some more food at the supermarket and popped into the post shop. After lunch we did some maths and reading then I made chicken casserole for tea.
Our neighbour Jeanette came in as always on a Thursday to put the boys to bed so I can get to TKD training while Steve is on-call.
The photo is of the boys with the bushman statue near the library. Before pakeha (European white man) came to Waimate it was an area of bush governed by the Maori Chief Huruhuru. Early in its life of colony immigration there were several saw-mills that worked to supply wood for construction. A photo was taken of an early bushman outside one of the sawmills from which this statue was cast. Although he is clearly made of metal there is something amazingly accurate and real about his face and so we always say "G'day mate" when we walk past.
Jonathan is wearing the pirate hat and parrot (he called it Fluffy) he had just made at the library.
