Always winter but the sun was shining

Saturday morning...an excellent time for catching up on missed housework. Nick has been very gracious in picking up many of the tasks, but over time many small things escalate into several things needing major attention! The sun was out and we got through three loads of washing, apart from the other washing needing folding and sorting, amongst other things. It was very rewarding to have a tidy house again. AT 12.15 we went to pick up Jayden and headed to the Theater Royal for the Connect Church's presentation of "Always Winter, Never Christmas" their rendition of CS Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". For an amateur production it was superbly done with excellent sets and costumes etc, and it sure was fun to pick out people that we knew - included in the large cast were a few from our school - teacher, parents, kids. Nick and I had cameras at the ready and were disappointed to hear the "no photographs permitted" announcement! The boys asked if Jayden could stay at our house for a while after we got back; after some manly wood chopping (kung-fu style), they played indoor games so Caleb could join - the passage makes an ideal cricket pitch! And then onto the evening, in which Liz and Graham joined us for a stew and fellowship. We had advised them to bring musical instruments; we made an interesting foursome of guitars, trombone and violin!! It was great fun and lovely to catch up with them again.(You really have to click on this last one to see Jayden's expression - priceless!)
