Thursday 18th June: Happy birthday Sally. Another chilly day but nice in the sunshine. We did a couple of hours of schooling and then headed south to Oamaru (photo of view west taken from next to the Waitaki River). First we went to the $2 shop and got some props for a fancy-dress disco the boys have in a couple of weeks. Then it was time for their swimming lesson. The small classes (3 or 4 in each group) means they are progressing well. From there we drove further south for about 5 minutes to Totara School. The Life Education Trust wagon (see photo) was at the school and a homeschool group were having a session for the afternoon. There were 13 children in all, age 5 to 8, who had a 90 minute session about "Air to Live" which our boys enjoyed enormously.
We drove back to Waimate via the supermarket, and passed the land of the Cub leader whose husband was busy burning the stubble (photo).
After tea Jeanette came to babysit while I went to TKD training. Steve was on-call but didn't get called out at all.
