What are the Kids doing Today

Fantastic Nikkit! You must have gone through a few packs of tissues

When I was a girl guide in high school donkey years ago, we had a lot of fun. Cooking outside, jamborees, singing around campfires, hiking, competitions. Learnt so many things to collect badges, even firefighting. One of the highlights of my teenage life

That was interesting to read Nikkit, I never had anything to do with girl guides so had no idea they were trying to turn females into ladies and grooming them for household duties. I can see the boys would have been having a great time and obviously no lesson in how to become a good husband!

Great Astarra   girls will be happy

Judy It may have been different in each group, but that's what we did. Sounds like Beezeebee had fun (and what you did  is similar to what the Scouts do these days)

I have to say I have no idea what the boys did in Scouts as I never had anything to do with that back then.

Surprisingly - no tissues needed this time Beezeebee - the aircon wasn't blowing directly in my eyes

Nikkit and Astarra you both must be so proud.

I have 2 asleep and 2 at school ATM 
About to have a rest myself, not a normal thing for me but have an infection in my scalp (where I had the cyst cut off) and feel a bit crap. 

[judydawn]

Grab a rest whilst you can Astarra and I hope you feel better soon.

[Bedlam]

Astarra, take care, i had wondered how you got on with your procedure.
When do the girls do their modeling?  Bet you come away with some great prof photos too.

[Cornish Cream]

I hope you feel better after your rest Astarra.

[Kimmyh]

Take care Astarra. Hope you feel better after your rest.

Hope you feel better soon.

I hope you got a nice break Astarra. 

Kids are at school/kindy today, so it's washing AGAIN for me.  How do we make so much?! 
We had a weekend away though, so partly it's from that.  We tagged along while DH had a job in Blenheim.  If anyone heads down that way, Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre is well worth a look.  And for the kids, ECO World aquarium in Picton was great - they loved touching a tuatara and watching the sharks & stingray.  It was excellent value too and cost the 4 of us $33 (50% discount with ferry tickets) including a great guided tour while the creatures were fed.  Smaller scale and not as "fancy" as some aquariums we've been to, but the best overall experience. 

[astarra]

I've been there Jo, reckon the kids would have loved it! 

Thanks everyone, getting the stitches out today and a check to make sure the infection is going not getting worse. 

[obbie]

Hope you are feeling better astarra.
DS goes back to school 2morow.
