It has been ages since I last posted anything and as to scrapping any photos, whats that? The kids had a rather boring school holidays as I was busy unpacking and rearranging the house. At least they can now find all their stuff and even know what colour the carpet is in their bedrooms. We aren't as cramped as we thought we were going to be though I am not too sure where we will put any visitors.

During the last weekend of the school holidays the rain hit hard here and settled in to stay for a while. Poor Eilish had her first day back at school this Monday and she is now catching the bus. About a 30-4o minute trip. I dropped Gary and Eilish down the road a bit and as I drove off the heavens opened up. A lot! They high tailed it for the shelter and waited for their ride.

Now those of you who know Eilish will appreciate the small miracle that has happened with regards to Eilish catching the bus to school. She now gets up at 6.30 in the morning to be ready to leave the house at 7.30. Last term back at our old place Eilish wasn't even waking up til 7.30 in the morning. The poor thing is doing very well though she does look a bit like the walking dead at the moment. I think the weekend is going to be a much needed time of sleep for her.

Some good news for Connor. All the Junior rugby players in Adelaide had a 10 aside tournament last Sunday. This was also an opportunity for rugby officials to come and assess kids who were applying for dispensation to play up or down a grade. Connor's team didn't play so well for their first games of the season but Connor did get dispensated up. So now he officially plays for the under 12's. A note: This is the first time a lot of Connor's team, including himself, have played a full rugby field. The poor little tackers were well and truly pooped.

Gary is getting used to commuting again and has also enrolled in a guitar course through WEA on Monday nights. This is over 8 weeks and one hopes that he will come out of it playing a few songs. He is certainly dedicated in his practising but as I have mentioned before, it would be nice to hear a song or two.
