G'day, people.
Sharon/Wiped, it's good when you enjoy your job. Even more, when kids reap the benefit.
Linda, I love your avatar! Does this mean you're playing the piano a bit more lately? It's good y our dad got to spend some quality time with wm.
Sharon/LDM, I'd love to see what you're doing with your place. Spring is such a satisfying tome to renovate the garden.
WFEN, thanks for clarifying about the beach pass. It sounds like your beach pass is similar to our national parks pass. Only yours is cheaper. None of our beaches are reserved just for residents, although one is very hard to get to except by walking, so generally only residents use it. We have a few celebrities who live there, and a few B & Bs are there too. Very exclusive, if you're into that sort of thing. Which I'm not.
TM, I'm glad Duckie is finally feeling better.
Today difficult child 3 & I went in to his school for his state-wide maths exam. The traffic reports were bad and the airport was redirecting incoming flights due to bad fog. So we allowed extra time to deal with the traffic, and made the trip in record time, just under the hour. Two hours early. So I took difficult child 3 to a nearby op-shop and then for a burger, so he could do his exam on a full stomach.
The op-shop had jeans, shirt, jumper and belt that fitted difficult child 3 well enough. He found a Wii Sports set (accessories only, nothing electronic) which was in new condition, which they sold us for $2. Cool!
It's late Thursday night, I'm finally getting my dinner (eating while I type) and only three of us are home (me, husband, difficult child 3). I just took a call from easy child 2/difficult child 2, who had a college tutorial tonight. She and BF2 are just leaving now, which means they are about half an hour's drive away (all through the national park I just mentioned). Could we please run her bath for her? Of course it must be run between 44.5 degrees C and 45 degrees C, she specified. She uses an oven thermometer for this, specially purchased.
Ya reckon there's just a touch of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) there?
Enjoy your Thursday, everyone.
