What I did in the holidays - by Natalie Kitto

At Nannas house I got too sleep and pla. I went too untee hevu it wus fun kcus it wus sams dsbay. It had los uv food.

(Natalie wrote this in her journal while staying home from school today because she and Calvin have been coughing, instead of sleeping, for the last few nights.)

Uni results are in

After a relaxing holiday wait, my results for Semester 1 are in:

For both essays for Australian Studies: Identities and for Key Educational Ideas I got a Distinction whoo, thanks to Stu, Ian and Kylie for helping me out.

For my take home exam, 3 x 500 word essay for Australian Studies: Identities I got 90% which is great considering I did most of it the day it was due and completely fudged one of the questions, not like me at all!!

So I got a Distinction for both of the topics which add's to the High Distiction I got for the Information Communication Technology topic I did at the beginning of the year. Great results all round.

Next week I start again with an extra challenge of a Fourth Year Education topic - just to increase my "full time" status and hopefully save some time in 3 years.

Natalie's first quilt

Thought Nanna might be interested to see that Natalie designed and made her first little quilt today. Mummy was there to lend a hand on the sewing machine, but Natalie picked the colours and style that she wanted.

time for an update

Hi all. Hope you're all well, warm and not too busy! Hope hols are great, Stu & Deb, and plans for Sue's visit going well, Heth & Al! We've been busy ... at least Dad has! We went to Grandad's Auntie Linda's 90th birthday party in Ad Sat afternoon, and brought Michael home with us. Good chats with Rob and Cherie ... they apparently have trouble getting on the Blog, but i thought I'd let you know Rob's got a sort of promotion ... pay increase acknowledging the extra work he's been doing for some time! So that's good! And the footy team's been doing terrifically well .... winning and kicking lots of goals, so that's good too! And not only but also ..... their dieting's going well too - in 6 weeks Cherie's lost 7kg, and Rob 5! So I reckon good on them! We met them Tuesday evening at McLaren Vale and handed Michael back. He enjoyed himself ... read about 30 books I think, and didn't want to play any games!

On Monday afternoon Dad conducted Jill's Mum's funeral in Adelaide, and yesterday he had 2 funerals here! All went really well and he got lots of positive feedback! 3 in 3 days doesn't happen very often, and we're quite pleased about that! Just for something completely different, we watched the James Bond movie on TV last night! I seem to have a bit of a wog, and was very achey and couldn't get warm last night, but once I did warm up I was way too hot! Woke with a dreadful backache this morning, but it's eased now and I just feel a bit lethargic and flat.

I'm pleased with my progress on Sam's quilt - am about to go and quilt it!
And saving some really good news for last - we have tenants!! Isn't that great??! An English couple with 2 kids are moving in at the weekend, have signed 12 month lease but hope to buy and move out before then - and they know they're up for extra charges if they do! We called there on Saturday and were a bit appalled at the water lying in the back yard ... the drainage must be a bit up a wattle i think, and we'll need to do some alterations there pretty soon! I guess a bit of water around shouldn't worry people used to UK weather! (from what we hear!)

Anyway, it will be beaut to see you all soon, and hope things going well for you all! Love Mum

Douglas Adam's was right

3x10^42!!!!!!!

Who would have believed it. The universe weighs 3x10^42kg.

Isn't that interesting.
