Thursday 13th August: This morning was cool and drizzly. We went to Playcentre - the boys were disappointed they would not be able to go outside to play with the woodworking table. This is their favourite place because they get to use a real drill and saw and hammer and they feel really grown-up.
At 11 we rushed off to Oamaru. Once we crossed the Waitaki River the cloudy sky cleared and it was a mild and sunny day in Oamaru. I collected even more milk than before - 28 two-litre bottles today! The boys swimming went extremely well - they are so much more confident and capable in the water and are all progressing well. As usual they were able to stay on with the other homeschool children and play in the water for an hour after their lesson finished.
We drove back to Waimate, and as we passed the Waitaki River we were once more under dark cloudy skies and drizzle. We delivered the milk to Sharon, Anna and Gael and then headed on to the house to meet another decorator. On the way we stopped b a field of ewes and lambs. it is lambing time here and this field was filled with twins and the ewe looking at you in the photo has triplets.
The other photo shows you the current state of the kitchen, which can only improve in my eyes!
We went home for tea and got the boys ready for bed. I couldn't go to TKD this evening because earlier in the day Steve had admitted my babysitter's husband to hospital!
