Winter is well and truly here, rain, RAIN and yes, more rain. The girls have had one virus after another and so much time off school. The worse one was Amber off for 4 days with what turned out to be gastro but it was different causing severe stomach cramps. Poor thing was rolling around in agony until I got her some tablets and a visit to the Dr. for a Maxilon injection. Thankfully, neither Peter nor I have caught anything (touch wood).
Representing the Exeter Scouts, 4 of us attended a Memorial Service for the founder of Exeter Scouts, Neville Hjort. Of course, it rained but still, the Winkleigh Church was full. It was a lovely ceremony then off to the Uniting Church for a fabulous spread. Straight after that it was off to the Anglican Church for a really enjoyable trivia afternoon. Our table came 3rd.
I am going really well with the overlocker, made another pair of PJ's for Amber yesterday. Cut out one for Tracy and woops, must have used the wrong size as they are ENORMOUS. Got loads of material from Spotlight for $2.99 a metre so will be very busy. It is actually FUN getting into this work.
After many weeks of intense practice, we attended the Scout Gang Show and Riverside won. Jodie did a solo and Amber was a clown doing hoola hoops and jumping on the trampoline then being a lion. Ethan clapped the loudest.
Had a fabulous weekend. Went to Camp Clayton for a scrapbooking workshop and learnt so much. I even got 2nd prize in the raffle. The food and accomodation were 5 STAR. I scrapped until 11pm both nights but over half of the others went until 2, 3 and even 4am both nights TOTALLY MAD. I have finally started on our Mainland trip. Only did 3 pages but am now motivated.
Peter and the girls went to Beaumaris where they met his old work friend, Peter and also Henry & Margaret Birril who invited them over. Jodie got sick Sunday morning with flu type symptoms.
Today I am hopefully going to another scrapbooking class at Tresca then to cards in the afternoon - HO HUM what a WONDERFUL life.
