Wow what a week...

Is it really Saturday already? I just don't know where this last week has gone?

It was the first full week back at school and just as we're getting back into our routine, Kelsey gets a bug!!!

He ended up having to take 2 days off school this week, (only 2nd time in his life he has been sick!) with some sort of stomach bug, or it may also have been the excess sun he had over the weekend, followed by 2 days (Monday and Tuesday) of extra sports and forgetting his water bottle in class!!! I don't think he gets it... just how hot that sun is and that he can dehydrate very quickly. Boys!!!

Yet the week still seemed to fly past...


The days Kelsey was at school he started with the afterschool clubs, so our weeks are now going to run as follows: Classes as normal all week with Extra English (reading and writing) on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, Tuesday and Thursday afterschool Cricket, Wednesday afterschool Tennis! All this as well as min. of 1 hour of homework per day and he also still wants time to swim when he gets home ... I'm exhausted just thinking about it.


On top of all this Aunty J and I have taken up a new HOBBY! It all started on New Years Eve, after a few glasses of the good stuff, some really good music and there we all were dancing on the driveway (the ceiling was a bit crowded!!!) June and I both commented on how much fun it was and how much excercise we'd had, not to mention the way we were 'glowing' (ladies don't sweat) we were sure we had probably lost some weight!!! (something that is needed by both of us!)
So after a bit of investigating June and I have started ... LINE DANCING... (now pick yourselves up off the floor girls). We are now in our second week, I did'nt mention it before in case we did'nt like it and gave up too easily!!! and we are both aching all over... Age and lack of fitness is definately showing, neither of us were prepared for the painful onslaught... You just don't realise what muscles you do use when you're dancing. But we're both having fun. June and I are probably the youngest ones there, it's a little embarrising really when you have these 'mature' ladies dancing 'squares' around you... No I'm not going out and buying the cowboy boots and frilly blouses (yet, can you imagine it?), but I'll keep you updated on our progress...


As per my previous blog, something has started to happen on the land again, except an update after much digging yesterday they have now found a fairly large rock bed and they say they may now have to 'blast'... Can they possibly find anything else to go wrong? Is there anything else that can go wrong?

When we first got here all I could think about was getting started with my business and getting the shop up and running because I was worried I was going to be so bored having nothing to do.... Ha! fat chance, I never have a minute, what with KB and school, stocktaking and re-pricing, all the land issues, all the extra activities, my new hobby as well as cooking dinner for all each evening, I collapse into bed exhausted. I don't have time for a business at the moment... But that doesn't mean I'm not missing it. You'll see I've added to my blog a list of other blogs that I'm following, if you get a moment have a look at some of them, there are some great ideas and products on these sites, Verve Stamps being one of my favourites, and I've been adding lots of new ideas to my 'future classes' book....


I'm even going to make an apology - to all of you who I laughed at for being 'internet /computer addicts', I now know the addiction!!! Apparently I'm addicted to my lap top - according to the others in this house... I don't switch it on first thing in the morning, only after I have taken K to school and I do turn it off now and again, and I haven't yet had sleepless nights because I'm on it, and I don't do chat rooms so it's still only a mild addiction. But ... you can get a lot of info from the net... and you can do some shopping too, especially if you still ave a UK address...

Ok that's enough for now, your thought for today: Life may not always be the party we hoped for, but while we’re here we may as well dance. (yeehaw!)
