Well today I had to go to a first aid course for work to learn about Anaphylaxis and asthma treatment in a first aid situation. The course was quite interesting and we got to use a trial EpiPEN as part of the course, so we could work out just how to deliver the EpiPEN if needed. We also road tested placebo Asthma inhalers so that we could work out how to also administer this medication.

After the course was over I returned home and then SZG and I took the children out to the shops to see if we could find any interesting magazine and reading material for our long trip on the Spirit of Tasmania on Monday. We are going across Bass Strait on a day sail, so need plenty of things to keep us occupied. Thankfully we will have a cabin to use so we can have a little privacy and some space away from the big crowds of people who take advantage of the great savings a Day Sail ticket offers you in price compared to a night sailing.

We are all looking forward to this time away. It is hard to believe that it will be our first trip back to the mainland since we moved over to Tassie in April 2008. Wow how times flies when you are having fun!
