We all had a good week. Meg actually had a wonderful one. Camp was loads of fun. One night under canvas and one in a bivouac she created herself. She was with her whole class and they cooked over a fire and made up plays, kayaked, swam, tramped and had a big adventure.
Spook had an excellent training week, coming in at 3am. This made for a very pleasant and relaxed day today, which included breakfast on the airport patio. He's having an evening of rest now, to prepare himself for the event tomorrow.
I've had a wonderful week of eventful cleaning, from a wee brown batch (holiday home), to a rambling farmstead with 7 large bedrooms + insuites, a lap pool, gym, outdoor pool and spa, tennis courts (didn't have to vacuum those, thank goodness), and lot's in between. Mary supplied Julia and I with coffee at crucial moments and we all had a really entertaining week.
Finn has enjoyed a balance of friendship and home and some very nice peace and quiet as an only child. This state continues, as despite being tired when she came home, and deciding not to go to Michaela's birthday sleepover tomorrow (why not have a birthday non-sleepover as a change?) she is now staying for 2 nights. The winning point from Michaela when we bumped into her and said she couldn't make it, was the promise of a tow round the lake in the float thing on the back of her Dad's boat. The choice between getting up early to go with us to Dad's event, or the boat, seemed to be quite an easy one for her. It was nice to see her anyway and we had a lovely wee trip down town for a milkshake sitting out in the sun and catching up.
