Where has this month gone - I thought I would sneak in a quick January post as I've been so bad at blogging lately. Now, I have the massive task of trying to fit the last month and a bit's news into one little post. I think I shall cheat and post loads of photos instead.
As you may or may not know, my parents were here for 4 weeks over Christmas. We had such an amazing time and did so much. We tried to fit in loads of sightseeing around all the festivities of Christmas and New year. The children just love having Granny and Grandpa around as do I. Gethin was very taken with his "bampa" and the two were never far apart!! But unfortunately, all good things come to an end and Granny and Grandpa had to go home back to "Africa". We miss you loads! xxxx
I'm now trying to get back into the swing of life as we know it. The school holidays are nearly over and school starts again next week. Gethin and Maddy will be starting at daycare one day a week from next week. Maddy can't wait but I'm not too sure about Geth. I think he shall protest rather loudly - poor baby! I'm in two minds as I could do with some me time but I will feel bad if he doesn't go happily.
The main reason they are going is so that I can start working again. Hopefully there are some good schools around here that would like me to do some relief teaching for them. Every time we move to a new country (I know this is only the 2nd one) I feel like I am starting all over again and the thought of going to a school for the first time scares the "heck" out of me. I forget that I have been teaching for years and feel like I'm the new kid on my first day at big school. Silly but true!
We have just celebrated our very first Australia day! Its a big thing over here (obviously) and the people are very patriotic. After a lovely day at some friends, relaxing around the pool and a traditional Aussie bbq, we made our way down to the foreshore to watch the fireworks! They were very impressive and lasted for about 30 minutes. All in all, a lovely day!
Well, I best get moving and see what my lovely children are up. Have a good day and hopefully I'll be back soon.
