Whyalla News


It has been so long since we posted something that I thought I would throw up something quick to let you know that we are still here and still living life.
Last weekend Stuart was down in Murray Bridge for the Internation Pedal Prix (a 24 hour recumbent bike race) with a team from school. He had a wonderful time and one day he will write a blog about it. He has been drumming up support to send a team again next year and is quite keen to enter his own adult team in some of the shorter races throughout the year - but I'll let him tell you about that. I will say though that they still do not know what their placing was in the race as the pedal prix computers crashed 6 hours before the end of the race and so they are going through the data now trying to work out the positions of the 219 entries!
The night night before the pedal prix Stuart was fortunate enough to stay with Heth and Al (thanks guys) and -as Heth already wrote- got some lego for his birthday from them. He finally put his rescue helicopter together the other night and it is SOOOOOOO cool. Thank you Heth, Al and boys.
While Stuart was away I popped over to Orroroo for Saturday night and was able to bring mum back to Whaylla with me on Sunday. It was nice to have Grandma around and we were able to get a couple of housey jobs done as well as having Grandma join with us at playgroup and mke Natalie a lovely new veil for her dress ups. We took Grandma to Pt Augusta on Thursday where my dad met us for lunch whcih was lovely.
Katt had his stiches out today and is enjoying not having to be in the cage anymore (yay, no more cleaning kitty litter!!!) The vet nurse said that he has healed very well which was nice to hear.
Stuart is now out playing poker and is hoping to come home very late (and very victorious). I'm hoping to get some sleep! (though might try and updat our blog - very over due!).

Oh welcome home to Nanna and Grandpa too. Look foward to hearing (and seeing) about your holiday.

Thank you so much for blogging!!! Glad you had a great time with Grandma, looks like it was enjoyed by all. When are we gonna hear from you Stu? Sam and I had a nice time at the shops with nanna today but the little man barely slept - he didn't get tooooo upset, but he just didn't sleep. Wouldn't settle when we got home either cos he was overtired poor lil darlin! Hopefully he'll be so exhusted he'll sleep all night!
