Forward we go

Following on after yesterday’s great start, I carried on with some sorting and tossing here at the Piccolo house. While I was going through clothing, I tasked the boys with rebuilding some of their Lego cars and things. The purpose in this was sneakily twofold – one, to make some headway with their myriad toys which will need some serious time and effort to whittle down, and two, to simply keep them occupied. They put together all of two cars and then took themselves off to play with said cars, leaving a trail of Lego bits and instruction booklets scattered across the bed.
During the afternoon we went for a drive to Printech to set in motion the printing of artwork for Nick’s second album. He has completed all the songs and mastered his CD, and we have done the artwork for the sleeve…this is a sneak preview.

On the way home we came across this curious scene. At first it appeared that the bus had crashed, but when Nick got out to see if he could help, he got the full story – the bus driver simply did not take the corner widely enough to clear the other side, and once he had gone as far as he could go, he was stuck – the bus is not equipped with reverse!! A quick tow sorted the problem out. Also from the manse yesterday I brought our cellphone. We have three SIM cards (none of which work here). I charged the battery and the boys have taken to playing games on it, or simply listening to the ring tones. Cellphones…such a novelty.
