Catching up

Good to be home again after a week of full days at work. It's remarkable how different my temp assignments have been in nature, and the variety of reactions there have been from the permanent staff...for some people, a temp is like an appliance or a stick of furniture - purely functional and inanimate; not greeted or spoken to. For other people, the temp is seen as one of them - a person to be engaged with and included in the staffroom chatter. This category keeps it interesting! We were hoping to do something outdoorsy and family-oriented but the weather was not hopeful. Instead, the day brightened when Andreas and Danielle called in to say hello, Andreas having returned from SA on Friday. We stood in the kitchen with our cups of coffee around a plastic tub of store-bought Anzac cookies...gesellig!
Following youth last night, the boys wanted to have a game of Taboo. We were amazed at their giving and receiving of clues! They can play quite a competent game. This led us to lunch which was toasties, and then I spent the afternoon in the kitchen, baking and preparing for Sunday's lunch.
