It is school holidays here, so I haven't been on the computer much. Just hanging out, kicking the footy, shooting hoops, gardening together, movies, library, playground.
We just returned home from a weekend in Melbourne - the big smoke! We did a little bit of shopping and visited with family. My dad is doing well. He is walking now, using a cane, but the pain is pretty much gone. He did lose most of his hair. He thought he had managed to avoid that as it did not start falling out until about four weeks after he finished his chemo. He is hoping he may even be able to start driving again. God is good!
I took the two younger boys to see Oddball. If you are looking for a gorgeous family movie, this is it!
It was very exciting to see our local area up on the big screen too. Lots of fun to recognise all the places we go to - the boys were thrilled to see the island they swim to was where the penguins live.
And being me, I was swooning over the gorgeous knitwear worn by the mother and daughter. I have my eye on this cable jumper!
The movie was shown as an activity run by the library so beforehand there was a craft activity to make your own felt fairy penguin. They turned out so cute!
The other family movie we watched this week and really enjoyed was Paper Planes, another Australian movie.
Who knew there were world paper plane championships?! I was really pleased to find two enjoyable movies that you didn't have to worry about the content. Just good fun - I highly recommend both of them.
My last list has a few carry overs, as I was expecting really, with the holidays.
Garden and Homestead
- Weed and plant out wine barrel planter.
Plant seeds of: coriander, parsley, silverbeet, spinach, spring onion, pak choi and lettuce.
- Plant gladioli tubers.
- Finish weeding in front flower bed.
Knitting, sewing, crafting
Three hours of hand quilting on Miss Ballerina's quilt.
- One night knitting on Minecraft pickaxe.
- One night knitting on rainbow bunting - for front fence.
- Research sock patterns for dad's Christmas present.
Household
- Make Lemon Cordial, and then with the peels, make Candied Lemon Peel.
- Sort out two boxes from garage.
- Take spare books up to Little Free Library.
- Sort out baby clothes.
