And we’re back at school. The regular patterns are back, with a start to swimming lessons again. The kids are struggling a bit back with the early starts, but are in reasonable spirits.
Puff is contemplating a portable breakfast on the way to school.
Dad walked Puff up to the bus stop on his first day (this was also the last day of the repairs to the Sydney water pipes out the back of the house).
Mum was struggling a bit with the thought of a son at high school. Puff has done an excellent job navigating his way on public transport, and we’ve enjoyed hearing from him via text message.
On the weekend we made a spontaneous decision, despite the fire warnings, to head down and visit our friends in Canberra.
We made it through the sixth Harry Potter audiobook – one to go.
The kids had a mostly screen-filled time, but enjoyed playing together.
We also managed to fit in a family dinner: always good to get all Dad’s siblings together under the one roof.
