Monday 24th December
So today I decided to actually get into my art corner and have a massive big tidy up.
I began by pulling everything out from the walls and the kids helped move boxes.
There was stuff everywhere!
Azzan wanted to help.
He and Mahalia both had vested interests in the helping.
They were standing right behind me waiting to scrap over the things I was going to chuck out.
Cat & Bri helped move the desk along so I could clean under it and to make more room to get into the cupboards.
I sorta ran out of steam though so it stayed like this for the rest of the day.
I cannot handle the heat we are getting at the moment.
Just way too much for me.
Tim went over to Waterfall Bay to spray weeds in the morning.
In the arvo he went up the hill with Bri & Nick to kill a sheep and then chased cattle.
Mahalia took over from Shoshannah and is now doing Graham's housework.
She did her first day and Graham was most impressed with her initiative.
When she had finished they worked on the harp building.
Cat & Leann have been making a very large wooden bench for their hut.
Bri & Nick helped them move it down from the shed - it was not an easy lift by any means!!
Shoshannah harvested the rhubarb and baked a rhubarb & coconut cake.
I made a huge big banana cake.
Bri iced it with white chocolate and sour cream.
Leann's birthday was on Saturday.
On the day they all arrived back from camping tired and I was too weary & hot to even think about normal food let alone anything special so nothing was done & I think she thought we had all forgotten about her
So tonight we presented her with her cake.
Bri had written her own name on it so Leann got a huge surprise when Mahalia brought it over to her.
There were pressies too so I think we were forgiven
Cake was good!
Seb & Phoebe got back from their town trip.
They are keeping busy at Waterfall - lots to do and they are very enthusiastic which is great.
'Tardis' came in late so Tim went down and helped Noel move the bags of ropes on the wharf to give us room to move.
