Is It Hot In Here?!

Just thought I would do a quick post to let you know that we are still alive and trying to survive this awful heat wave that seems to have not end. We have had over 43 degree (Celsius) for the post 4 days and the coolest it is supposed to get next week is 38. Thank goodness for good refrigerated air conditioning. We only got our current air conditioner installed just over a year ago and I don't think that we would be surviving without it. We are all currently camping out in the living room as the bedrooms are unbearable, especially our master bedroom which is upstairs and honestly feels like an oven. Your feet actually get really hot when you stand on the carpet, not to mention when using the ensuite. Hopefully there will be a break in the weather before too long and we can then get some decent sleep. 

We had our first week back at Craft today and I was very pleasantly surprised when so many ladies turned up. I thought that no one would really want to come out in this weather. And what surprised me even more was the number of ladies who wanted cappuccinos and hot chocolates. It ended up being a lovely morning, very relaxed as it was registration day so no official craft classes. Just a chance to catch up since Christmas and we will officially start classes next week. I will try and take some photos and show you what is being offered this term.

Well hope you are keeping cool (or warm if you are reading from the other side of the globe) and have a great weekend.

Australia Day

Today is our Australia Day holiday and we did absolutely nothing, it was wonderful. Our last little bit of respite before the year well and truly gets underway starting tomorrow. With our oldest going into year 10 (first year of senior school) and heading into the serious side of studies and our youngest going into year 6 (last year of primary school) with more responsibility and preparing for high school. Today I managed to finish another book which has given me a grand total of 3 for the month so far, I just love a good read. Any way I wish all you Aussies a happy Australia Day and I hope that you all enjoy your first week back at school.

A Horrid Job

It is back to school on Tuesday for my boys. My sweetheart started his new job at the same school that my boys go to, so next week will be interesting as it will be the first time that they will all be dropped off together. Pick up will be a different matter as my sweetheart finishes 1 1/2 hours later so we will see what works out best. He may try and catch a bus or I think that it would be easier and cheaper for me to just go back and pick him up.

I had to pick up the school stationery last week and it took me 3 nights to finish the horrid job of covering the 26 exercise books with the chosen contact.

I must admit that I did have one big dummy spit and vowed that I would never do this job ever again as I ripped the contact off the book once again because there were too many wrinkles and the contact split. I am surprised that they haven't invented exercise books with contact on them already. Probably will come into existance when my kids are all finished.
