Thursday 12th November: Cool but sunny again. I had a lovely chat on skype with Sue first thing this morning and the boys kept coming to complain their teacher hadn't turned up for school and wondered when she would be turning up! Mind you, when I was ready they didn't want to leave the game they were playing with their cars and track!
Schooling went smoothly and we got lots done. We finished our morning doing finger painting poppies. While we were schooling we noticed out of the window tractors working in the field opposite us. Yesterday the tractor had cut the grass. Today the tractor was rolling the cut grass into long channels and another was collecting it in a large trailer.
After lunch we fed the lambs their second feed of the day. Shirley hangs around after her feed to find out if there is any left in Felicity's bottle that she might get if she looks cute and friendly. Felicity is finally a little more keen to feed and is taking more milk today, and finished each feed with a fat little belly. Both are clearly gaining weight well.
In the afternoon the boys did some work on the computer - touch typing, maths and a computer game as reward.
While they were doing this I started work on a course I enrolled for yesterday - Certificate in Sustainable Growing offered by Otago Polytechnic. Today the module I started was about naming plants.
The boys raced their bikes round the garden while I watered the vege plot and sorted out some more seeds to put in.
For tea the boys made their own pizzas, then we fed the lambs again and it was time for stories and bed.
The photos show the tractors at work in the view from our kitchen window, the boys' art work from last week and this, and Felicity and Shirley.
