Here I am giving a virtual tour of our minute garden to a skpe conversationalist.
Today our bank cards allowed us to buy a washing machine. While looking for washing machines we also saw this, which shows you how a dishwasher does its business.
Also we had a look at outdoor tables and indoor sofas.
Esther had a school trip today to the zoo and transport museum, which are next to each other in Auckland. Kezia hasn’t found her hat and jumper yet. She has got a very comprehensive homework sheet from school. They are learning all about milk and we have to do some experiments on it at home.
I think school is going to be a rubbish place for me meeting any mums as they aren’t there. I seem to be the only mother who walks right up to school with her children (much to Kezia’s great embarrassment). Esther and Kezia are really keen to walk to school on their own, which seems to be the norm here. They could do it from the new house as there is only one quiet road to cross, so I’ll have to get my head round that one. That means I won’t have to get dressed at all which will be ideal for getting started on my daytime drinking and tv habit.

The mothers must be some were. Maybe there are tea morning and WI activity were they all knit and discuss ladies things that get mentioned in the daily mail.
We can always arrange a Skype coffee morning 🙂
Jane – I’m seeing you in a whole new light! 🙂 The kids here tend to do the school thing on their own; even those at our primary trudge over the fields and lanes on their own a fair bit.
It doesnt matter how long you stave off buying a new cap. You know it will turn up the day after you buy one
I’ve walked to/from school a few times on my own. I walk home from school every Monday and Tuesday now, as I have clubs on. C.
