Wednesday 12th August: Another cool grey day with some rain - this first in ages. At 9am we were at the house to meet the builder who needed to measure up for wallboard, and another painter/decorator. The boys played in the garden until the rain came down heavily. I raked up more wallpaper from around the house and moved large logs of wood into the woodshed to keep them out of the rain.
At 11am we headed for Timaru where we ordered the new cooker and fridge. The boys and I then had lunch at Subway, then as a treat I took the boys to Chipmunks - a soft play centre - for an hour.
We zipped back to Waimate in time for Keas. This week the children were on a visit to the Resource Recovery Park - in other words the recycling centre. I was parent help so Edward came along too, and they all really enjoyed it. We took along a box of things to recycle and the man there showed us how we could choose the box to put each thing in, showed the tin can crusher in action, and let the children throw lots of paper into the baler and showed them how it squashed the paper, also the conveyor belt where the staff sort the recycled items collected from the roadside collection into the right bins.
The photo shows Peter and Jonathan on the deck (sheltered from the rain) playing with their bows and arrows.
