G'day, everyone.
Linda, I hope your visit with wm is a good one. It has been a while. I had to chuckle over the therapist chickening out with 3" of snow, unless she's afraid of more snow falling and stranding her at your place? Hasn't she heard of snow chains? We drove 400 km on snow chains in New Zealand, when the June blizzards covered South Island and we were in the middle of it. Quite an adventure, snow tyres and 4WD would have been nice...
Sharon, snow on top of ice - treacherous indeed. I'm glad you got home safely. We often have delays on the road so we pack things to keep the kids occupied, as well as extra water and blankets. A good thick wool blanket is ideal bushfire survival gear in summer, too. Wool sure is versatile!
Very hot here, incredibly humid. The humidity was down to 90% this morning, but now it's late at night, I went outside and it's condensing all around. It feels like extremely light rain, only it's not enough to even make you damp to touch. Weird.
Tomorrow difficult child 3 has his NASA excursion. We have to be at the school by 9.15 am for the satellite hook-up at 9.30 am. It means driving through the worst of Sydney peak hour. So pray for dry weather in the morning, no fog and no morning storms to clog the roads. Can't be late for this! Not like last week, when half the kids didn't make it for their test because the traffic was so bad.
difficult child 3 worked really hard today, I have a very thick bundle of work to deliver tomorrow. Plus I've organised another music lesson, I have to bring my laptop for difficult child 3 to show off his music composing software. husband just spent an hour or more trying to get some glitches out, with difficult child 3 hovering and offering 'advice'.
difficult child 3 is doing OK, despite being attacked again this afternoon by the same pack of little darlings who bloodied his head in August. This time it was fewer kids (about 6) and they didn't throw anything at him. They chased him on their bikes but his new bike (only recently repaired after they chased him into the side of a moving car earlier this year) is too fast for them. They were trying to whip him with something made up out of elastic bands tied together. And calling him "Harry Pot-Smoker" (he does look a lot like Harry Potter). I suggested that next time he says to them, "And we know who gave me the scar on my head, don't we?"
Yes, I called the police. That way they can no longer say it was an isolated incident.
I'll try to post separately about this but not tonight, it's been incredibly hectic. Tomorrow even more so.
Enjoy your Wednesday, everyone.
