Christian Glasses.

I'm posting these pictures as I can't seem to get Spooks sunrises from his camera. will try and get them out tomorrow. The trapeze was a bit of extreme play park - Kiwi style. Just a bit of soft bark to catch the kids if they fall!!!!!! The 5 are Zac (expert pig hunter), Luke, Josh, Thomas and his twin sister Hannah. Hannah told me it was her birthday. When I asked if there were any other birthdays in the family, she couldn't think what I was talking about. She is older than Thomas by a minute, so he doesn't stand a chance, really. She went and queued to get this sausage for him and I heard her tell him he was lucky to get it. Their father Vern, is one of the coaches - the bad cop!

Spook went to clean his poo tank on his day off and I went to clean a couple of holiday houses with my lovely colleague, Sarsha. I had to pick up keys for the 2nd one, at the offices of the accomodation people we rented from when we first came here. They were pretty snooty and gave Sarsha and I bit of a runaround looking for keys, incurring a 45 min delay, which was enough to make me miss going snowboarding with Spook. The feeling I got was that the cleaners time was not of great value. I was mad for ages which was not helped by my falling in the bath. It was a huge spa bath that someone had filled to the neck, shaved and exfoliated in and left the scum for me to remove. I'd just about got it done when I had to reach over to the far side and fell in. I made sure I fell in a way that didn't dirty it again, but I banged my head really hard, rattling my teeth and my brain. Sarsha ran to rescue me but couldn't do so until she had stopped laughing. I blame the nasty lady in the office who dosen't speak nice to the cleaning ladies.

Spook had a nice time snowboarding but was a little lonely.

Meg had her optician's appointment today to check her eye progress. But is wasn't the same optician (she had told me it was a $30 appointment), but a man who did a thorough check and decided Meg needs specs for reading and the blackboard. So he charged $55 and it will be $280 for her glasses. At least Meg is very excited. Yet again she was offering to pay. At this rate, she would need to give up school and work full time!!
