Omarama is the most relaxing place
In the school holidays we headed to Cromwell. On the way we spotted something new. Hot pools at Omarama. But these are no ordinary hot pools. They are Japanese style hot pools. No chlorine, new water put in after each hire. There are twelve individual pools and they are all secluded and have their own change room and shower.
It was grey and miserable and we soaked. It totally got rid of Eli's cold and we all felt so much better. We had a picnic lunch in the pool as it did not matter about crumbs etc as the pool would be emptied after our visit.
Having a real fire to heat it was fantastic. Totally recommend the place.

Back to School
All is becoming normal from a routine point of view. Nothing will be normal for ages and every class has children who have not been able to come back as they are moved, or temporarily somewhere else. But our gang are back to school daily
How to ride a deer
What to do when an Earthquake closes school
Go on holiday. The boys and I headed out to Amanda and Ewen's farm. What a stress buster that was. I had not realised that the kids were so shattered by it all. On Saturday night Eli went to bed of his own accord at 5pm - he was done in.
We fed lambs three times a day, calves twice a day, rode on the back of the truck feeding out. Rode on Benny the Venny (short for Venison). Tried to ride on Sammy (the steer) but he wasn't keen. Picked up deer buttons (the base of the antlers) and other general farmy things.

Finally Finished
I have finally completely finished the bag that I started at the quilting day I had with Rosealie Quinlan and Leanne in Chch. I am pretty pleased with it as there is a lot of handstitching. All the strips are hand quilted and the motif is all hand appliqued. Well done me.
