[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 13170, member: 1991"] G'day, Sharon. Crikey, -9 with windchill - my workout would be shivering my way to the mailbox and back! Jen, I hope you have the restful time you're expecting. We need top grab whatever breaks we can. I managed to get difficult child 3 to do a fair bit of work today, even though school starts officially, for the students, tomorrow. But it eased him back into schoolwork and he did the subject he likes least - PD/PE - although his teacher, either with amazing luck or foresight, had chosen "beach activities" as his topic. The next topic - Cronulla race riots. For us, that's right next door. It was about 13 months ago that it happened and authorities still worry about situations here it could happen again. We have our own perspective on why it happened (from talking to people in the area) and they're off to a bad start even labelling it 'race riot'. Sub-cultural clash, more like. Civil war, connected to different cultural views on how to treat women, coupled with the concept of revenge attacks merely for having a different viewpoint. Oh well, that's the next worksheet. It's going to be challenging for him, he really hasn't got the social skills it will need. I had promised difficult child 3 that I would take him to the beach when he got his work done - he didn't finish until almost 5 pm, but the beach was still enjoyable. The water is still very warm - a good sign for possibly more rain before winter kicks in. I'll continue to use the beach as the incentive until it gets too cold for difficult child 3. Here's hoping our late summer continues for a few months more! Marg [/QUOTE]
