Thursday 20th August: Sunny and 10 degrees but it felt warmer. Thursday is always a busy day for us. We started at Playcentre as usual and the boys had great fun making clay models, something I think we might do at home sometime as they enjoyed it so much. They were also able to play in the garden and huge sandpit there. At 11 we left to drive to Oamaru and we ate our lunch as we drove there. In the fields we saw lots of new lambs skipping around.
The boys' swimming lesson went well but all 8 children in their class were there today so it was a busy class. After their lesson we walked across the road and spent a short time in the Oamaru Public Gardens. These are a truly beautiful place to be and contain many different areas - duck pond, Chinese garden, aviary, bandstand, playground and lots of paths and streams meandering through the park. We had a lovely time in the spring sunshine and the tidy flowerbeds are beginning to come to life. The boys got rid of some of their endless energy in the playground too.
We bought 52 litres of milk today and spent half an hour driving round Waimate delivering it to our friends. We ended up only having 15 minutes to visit the house but watered the veggies in the greenhouse and checked on the animals.
We got home just after 4pm and cooked a chicken and bacon pie for tea. Jeanette arrived at 6 to babysit the boys while I went to TKD and set up a game of Monopoly to play with them before storytime. After I returned home Steve received a few calls so was in and out through the evening visiting patients.
The photos show a few images from our visit to the Public Gardens.
