Nick woke up at 5.30 this morning, wide awake (most unlike him), so decided to get out of bed and watch the sun rise, which he did from Millennium Forest. His photos were pretty spectacular, but this was our favourite.
The boys and I started school at 8, and worked only for an hour which was enough time to finish off the last of the week’s work – really, just the spelling, writing and maths. Nick and I had double-booked the car, but a little negotiation offered the solution of Nick dropping me off in town, then taking the boys with him to the radio station where he had some prologues to record. I spent the next few hours peddling my wares, and it was a fairly profitable stint. 
Nick and the boys came back to town at lunch time, and we had take-aways for lunch – although not in our usual Castle Garden spot. In the late afternoon there was a sociable atmosphere around here...Nick chatted with Richard while the Piccolo kids busied themselves in a big pile of dirt and stones, left there by the government for their ongoing pipe works. That would have kept them busy for ages had pizza not lured them home…
The pumpkin seedlings which sprouted after Nick’s genius idea of burying the pulp in the garden have taken over…they have almost covered the entire patch of dirt out front. I’m wondering where the runners are going to go next – they will still get heaps bigger.
