It's difficult to know where the days go, if someone told you, you have a year off to travel with no work, you might wonder, 'How on earth will I fill my days? Won't I get bored? Well let me tell you, both these thoughts crossed my mind but it's amazing how quickly the days whizz by.
Generally we are pretty motivated and none of us like to sit around all day watching telly (well that's a lie because Sam would, given the chance) so we tend to get up between 7 and 8, have breakfast and watch the news and then either do the school work or head off for a surf. Whilst the boys are in the sea I will either, read my book, watch Sam catch waves, do yoga or go in for a long board or body board (it's usually a mixture of all of the above). Then we will have lunch, normally back at the house, followed by school work/a food shop/tidy up/wander or read and then it's dinner time and before you know it the day is over.
Today we went to get prices on timber for a fence that we are going to build for Jeff and Linzi. They want a wooden fence and of course Will is in his element as he gets to dig holes and use power tools again. Sam thinks it's really cool as he will also get to help with the measuring, digging, ordering etc... I think we'll call it DT.
We went in to a town called Woolgoolga which is about 10 mins from Corindi and, after getting some prices, stopped in a cafe to have a snack, I had a coffee and the most gorgeous warm banana bread with maple syrup butter..mmmmmmm.... then we came home and Sam did his schooling. We have just finished Chemistry and he had a test on rocks and weathering in which he did pretty well and was achieving a level 7 (which is pretty good). So next week we start Physics (which looks pretty scary - not my strongest subject). Yesterday we watched Amelie for French, which was fun (until she started talking about counting Parisian orgasms at which point I wondered if it was a mistake to watch the film, but then, as Sam pointed out, it's ok because you can't see anyone's vaginas!!!!! I ask you!!!)
What else? We are having a roast on Sunday for a few of the neighbours which should be lovely (and hopefully not too stressful). We have also nearly been here for a month now and need to start thinking about heading to Perth (probably mid April) as the cost of flights are going up and up so we will try and book them over the next few days.
And that's about it for today - no cooking tonight - fish and chips for tea... hooray for food!!
