School's out for summer...


... Words that would normally send shivers down my spine! But as summer camp starts on Monday, I'm not too concerned! And summer is definitely here at last. We've had pretty much wall to wall sunshine all week and temps are reaching the high 20's. This weekend we are expecting highs of +36, which after experiencing -36 in January is most welcome! The only downside to all this hot sunny weather is the particularly vicious mosquitoes that we are now plagued with. We are all hoping for some very windy weather to blow them all away!


The children are all well, overjoyed in fact about the school hols! Leigh continues to be busy on the Prairie (the mosquitoes even manage to bite through their uniforms!). He did manage to have last weekend off though, which was just as well given the amount of champagne that flowed
following the fantastic news of his promotion to Lt Col. Well done Leigh, we are very proud!


Olivia has her (early) birthday party tomorrow and I expect the rest of the weekend will be spent at the splash park. I think it is fair to say that Olivia is far more excited about her party than I am at the prospect of entertaining 16+ kids!

Gorgeous fots of the kids; next door’s shreddies on the washing line look almost as good! Hope you have sobered up after the well deserved post promotion celebrations! Love to all
