So I haven't updated for a while. Real life has a habit of getting in the way. The kids have started back at school. Which is great. It means adult conversation at home time for me. Its amazing how much diffrence speaking to unrelated adults can make. The kids have settled back in well. I cannot get over how much homework they get though! Much more than back in the uk. I have started to get chatty with a few of the mums. Ones been round for a drink and chat. She also gave me some summer clothes. How lovely is that? Well it would be apart from they are a size 18!! Bloody hell I was a bit gobsmacked to say the least.
Saturday gone we had a child free night. The lovely in laws took the kids for the night. We were supposed to be attending a doof in the bush. Neither of us fancied it so Gal called a taxi and had it drop us at Bar beach. Stunning! Then we had a walk up the main drag for something to eat. Yum I can still taste the soup. We spent the rest of the evening in a bar with friends of Gals. Had a ball and felt like something other than a mum. Amazing what a night out can do.
The news has been full of tragedy. Floods to the north bush fires to the south. Theres been a few bad fires here in NSW but nothing like whats happened in Victoria. Whole townships wiped from the map. Great loss of life. They think they where started deliberately a concept i cannot get my head round. My heart goes out to those affected. My admiration is with those both paid and volunteers who have fought this hellish fire.
