The reappearance of the diningroom

We are now into our second last week of school for this term, and the day went fine except for the first half hour or so where the boys were in Monday mode – they always take a little while to settle back into school after the weekend! Caleb had a lot of maths work to do but he diligently worked his way through it all, even when I said he could take a short break and finish the rest a bit later – he kept on until it was all done. I commended him on his perseverance! Directly after lunch we all went to town. I had envisaged going alone to do the grocery shopping, but Nick wanted to start clearing out the diningroom, in which had been stored a lot of church furniture after the rockfall. He phoned Steve before we left so that they could work on it together, as one person can’t lift pews alone! Together they moved all the kitchenette stuff which is waiting to be installed in the schoolroom, into the church, and then started on the pews, moving four or five out. It’s pretty exciting to be seeing things coming back together in the manse after such a long period of mess.
