Today the children spent the day with Babcia, while Tata went to work and Mum went to a THEAC meeting in Campbell Town. They enjoyed their time together immensely. The girls showed Babcia a lot of their school work and talked about the projects they have been doing such as their postcard collection, Exchange student Splash and other English, art and maths work.

NIK Having Fun!
Well it was back to work today for both SZG and I. After a week away, it is always hard to adjust back to the demands of your job. NIK enjoyed her time with me at work. She loves having other children to play with and the ability to access games and toys which we do not have at home. So the experience for her has been a positive one up until now. She is a very cheeky little girl, who is more than comfortable in her own skin, which is just great. She has a big heart too which makes her adorable. It is amazing though how unlike her sister she is. JAHG being the quieter of the two girls and NIK the real talker! NIK, in so many ways, is the very same as her older brother DJB, except a little girl not a boy!
NIK with her new Monitor
Well after our quiet day at home yesterday and having to unpack everything we took away on holiday as well as everything we purchased while away. NIK was quite excited to finally have a nice new monitor for her computer. Up until now she has always had a big bulking old style monitor, but no more! As from Today she has a slim line flat screen monitor, which gives her so much more room at her little desk!
Today has been very similar to yesterday for us. We have relaxed around the house, done some simple cleaning and organised everything for work tomorrow. We managed to speak with JAHg via Skype, which is something we have not used for a while, but intend to start utilising again – sooner rather than later.
Even though the day was rather quiet for us, the atmosphere has been far from its usual self. There are a number of fires around the area, which has caused us to have a very reddish sky and a lot of smoke about. I tried to capture the feel of it in a photo, but still this does not do it justice at all, but I will share it with you anyway!
Red Sky at Day
NIK, JAHG, Dziadek and Monty the Dog.
Today we spent the day at Babcia and Dziadek’s House. The children enjoyed this immensely. It has been almost two years since we have visited them at their house, yet it seemed like yesterday once we got there. Both girls were very excited to see Monty the dog and Marnie the cat. Monty was very accomodating in sticking around for photo opportunities, however the same could not be said for Marnie as he did very well at hiding away.
During the day we did lots of things, such as visiting Pra babcia’s grave, going for a walk. JAHG did some bead craft – Making necklaces and bracelets for us all. NIK enjoyed a play with Monty, who is almost as big as her and a great day was had by all.
JAHG hard at work with her beads making Jewellery.
Today we decided to take time out to visit Pra babcia’s Grave. We have been to visit there before but not for a very long time. The girls enjoyed the experience and talked about Pra Babcia. NIK wanted to know why she was there. I explained that she had died and now this is where she laid. Why did she die? NIK questioned, so I tried to explain to our young daughter just how Pra babcia came to be lying there in the cemetery. Just as she seemed to grasp the whole situation, she said to me, so Babcia and Dziadek will be here soon too as they are old! Hence another conversation started about what is old and what is very very very very old as Pra Babcia was well into her 90’s when she died.
Now NIK understands that Babcia and Dziadek should have a lot more years ahead of themselves before they come close to being as old as Pra Bacia was when she died. So will hopefully be around for a lot more years still to come!
