Reading

Ella is learning to read with a new technique. Dad thinks the new way of learning is pretty much 'guessing by images'. It's driving him around the bend. 

Ella, on the other hand...

Active weekend

It's been a busy weekend, starting with a Friday dinner with 5 kids (Manon and James on top of the usual team).


Nils was at his usual best, piling on a mischief a minute. We first discovered him attempting to replicate Queensland's floods in the kitchen.


Two minutes after being told off, he got hold of that 200g piece of black chocolate. Which had by then shrunk to something like 80g.


And a Vulcan chocolate salute. "Live long and chocolate".



Dad and I were soon off to Macca's for a nutritious meal. Oarsome!


We got kitted up and got ready for the races at Hampton Downs.


Ready to roll!



Not bad considering the tandem penalty!


We got given the tour of Hampton Downs' main track. Including some backstage entry. This is Race Control, from which all races get monitored and managed.



We eventually got home for a dip. It's beautifully warm for the season.
