Today was school as normal, and we’re into our second last week. The boys are pleased that we will finish all the work on or before next Friday, so will not need to use any of the two extra weeks of padding in December that I built into the schedule to catch up on any missed work. Things will get pretty exciting when our school holidays begin next Friday afternoon as Graeme and Hazel arrive the next Monday (two weeks hence), and then it’s just three weeks after that until we leave, with a lot to happen in between!
Took a quick trip to town so I could say goodbye to a friend leaving on the ship, and because Nick wanted to do some cleaning up in the back yard, specifically the washing line area which was hit in the rockfall. He took down one of the cross beams (the ceiling where the boys had their tree house had already been dismantled), and rewired some of the electrical works. The boys meanwhile had been amusing themselves in the school yard where they have discovered a huge hole…Arnold, who had been renting a small part of the school yard for his garage for many years, had furnished it with a mechanics pit, partially covered over and with metal rungs forming a ladder. It made an ideal HQ for the boys, especially when they found some cast-off Perspex sheeting which made the rest of the roof. We didn’t really stay in town for long, and were home early enough for me to finish with the section of packing I had started earlier.
