Sunday 8th November: I was up early to go to a Kea Leader course in Timaru so Mum and Dad were looking after the boys while I was busy. All seemed to go well while I was gone, and Steve returned from his trip to the Tour of Southland which was won by Heath Blackgrove, originally from Waimate. It was his 10th time riding in the race and the first time he had won, and the best bit was he got married an hour after the race finished and the post-race dinner doubled up as his wedding party!
My course in Timaru went well. There were lots of Kea, Cub and Scout leaders from all over the area. The Sea Scout Hall we were in is at the end of the wharf at Caroline Bay (see photo).
After the course I called into a house in Timaru to collect a round table and chairs I had bought in trade me earlier in the day. Amazingly I was able to fit them all in the truck once I had taken the top of the table off the base. It looks great as our new everyday and homeschool table.
The lambs are both calmer every day, and now Shirley will come over for her bottle without needing to be chased and caught which is very helpful because she is getting very heavy.
