Egg decoration

Rachel had some fun home work this weekend. She was to decorate eggs for a competition, and she decided on a sea theme. All her own designs, ideas and work.

Then Cheryn decided to paint an egg too.

Kids in their shirts

Granny Bowen bought the children new T-shirts and wanted pictures of them wearing them.

And at the same time we decided to take a 2009 family photo.I tried to remove some of the visual noise in the background, I don't have photo shop, so this is as good as it gets.

The Star of the Show

Cousin Jessica is the star of the Primary School musical! She got the lead role as Joseph, as in Joseph and his Technicolor dream coat.

She did a great job. This is the scene when Joseph is thrown into jail and is lamenting his fate. (my only complaint is that my camera didn't do her justice)

I don't think I have ever heard her singing, she has a lovely voice and can carry a tune very well.

Zeek got to be an Ishmaelite, he is the one third from the left in the redish coloured gown.

I think they all had a great time.

Spades at the beach

You tell your kids that you are going to the beach. They ask if they can take along some spades. You agree, because kids should dig in the sand and build things, right. Well, when I said spade, what did you picture?
That's not what they had in mind,They had a great time digging to Australia!

Cheryn dug into a book instead.

My neck

This is on the third day after my op. The cut is 6 1/2 cm long, but as you can see it is very neatly stitched, the stitches are under the skin, in the tissue, this is supposed to make a much neater scar. The other plaster is where the drain tube was.

Recovering is so boring

I have read books, watched movies, done sudoku, and slept since Sunday morning. And I probably still have to lie down and rest for another two days or so.

I am doing it though, I want to heal quickly and be able to carry on as soon as possible. I am glad to be home, because I am not being bothered all the time for my blood pressure and pulse, it is quiet here, and the food that Pete serves me is really good.

This was today's lunch. Thanks Pete.
