We've had a busy couple of days.
Saturday was a trip up the Mountains to visit Grandma, and then Nanna.
We left home in some pretty good rain and on the way up found more rain, and fog, and even some dry patches. It was a reasonable drive and very nice to see that the catchment was a good, all over covering of water.
Not a lot happened at Grandma's. We had some lunch and played some games and had some arguments. I got a bit restless - it was a wet, misty day in the mountains after all.
But suddenly, at about 15:00, it got very noisy. The Clan McK and the Zoo Cows all arrived, simultaneously, for a vist. 6 kids in a small, weatherboard cottage on a wet day ... Very loud.
The kids had a bunch of fun and the adults had some adult type conversations. It was nice but, as usual, I ate too much .
We ended up whipping over to Nanna's place at about 17:00 and had some dinner. We had to leave about 19:30 because of tired kids and had a very interesting trip home. There was rain, fog, dry road, accidents, detours .... everything. We also had the immense of listening to the Wobbly Wallabies belt the crap out of the South Africans. And the Eagles managing to beat South Sydney.
Sunday was pretty low key. We did very little apart from some groceries. Aunt BJ came over for dinner and we had some very fancy, but not very tasty, canneloni. I keep telling myself it was the effort that counted. As always it was nice to be with friends; but this time it was somewhat sombre because Aunt BJ is moving interstate in about two weeks.
Then it was Monday. The highlight of my day was coming home from work and having a little disco with the kids. We played some Lynryd Skynyrd (sp?), The Knack, MC Hammer, U2, Jet, Jamiroquai and Outkast. All sorts of things. They danced to all of it and thought it was fantastic. So did I - the kidlets were beautifully cute and they had a ball.
