[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 192842, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Linda, enjoy your play day. I'm jealous! Sharon/WO, my sympathies for the busy day. I hope you can find the energy and time to get to your book club meeting. Sharon/LDM, enjoy your cooler day. Andy, well done with keeping the baby quiet. Singing is always worth a try, it is very much under-rated. And I hope you find a President soon, to take over from you. What a day! husband & I got going earlier than usual so we could get into the city by 9 am (actually, it was 9 am for 9.30). We got there by about ten past, which was plenty of time. There were four kids from difficult child 3's correspondence school, at this special event. It was a tutorial session/think tank arranged with the Australian Defence Forces in conjunction with an education/PR mob called Ryebuck (in shearing parlance, the ryebuck shearer is the 'gun' shearer, the best on the boards). There were similar small groups from schools all round the Sydney region. It was a good day - informative, stimulating, encouraging. difficult child 3 maybe didn't get as much out of it as other kids, but he did his best to participate. They gave the kids each a showbag at the end, with the usual knick-knacks - a small frisbee, a baseball cap, some fridge magnets, a pen - and a 256Mb thumb drive! difficult child 3 is thrilled to have a thumb drive of his own. We've been going to get him one, he needs it for school. We got back to our outer suburb where we parked the car, by late afternoon, in time to discover the car battery had flattened during the day. difficult child 3 had his drama class on there, so he went to class while I waited for the roadside service. Then I sat with the motor running for 45 minutes waiting for difficult child 3's class to finish. I am so tired! Tomorrow I drive mother in law to get her heart monitor put on for 24 hours, then see my gastroenterologist (about my weight loss pills etc). Then a few hours later, I'm having another CT scan, this time on my hips and lumbar spine. In between we'll do some shopping while we wait - it's all in the same area, we may as well. Then next day - back in to get mother in law's heart monitor removed, then she & I have appointments with the neurologist. I've talked to difficult child 3 - he is going to stay home and do his schoolwork on his own. Somewhere in there I need to rest - easy child is coming down to Sydney on Saturday, to look at wedding dresses with me. More dress shopping on Sunday, then she's back to Newcastle on the train. I'm hoping to hook girlfriend in to dress shopping on Saturday too. Wish me luck! I'm hoping to get to bed not too late tonight, although I do need to wash my hair tonight - after a day in the city my hair feels greasy and gritty. A busy week, and it's only half over for me! Enjoy your Wednesday. Marg [/QUOTE]
