I will update you soonest.
THANK YOU for all your supportive words regarding the vaccination issue. I know you all have your children vaccinated (as Mackinley is and will continue to follow the schedule, just in case you were wondering!) and prevention of disease is one of the 20th Century medical miracles.
Rainer is a completely different biochemistry and will need to be monitored continually. If anyone in his class gets sick, I’ll have to get him from school until the infection clears. So, very little for other parents to do as it’s me and my child who carry all the risk.
Funny that some people don’t understand that!!
ANYHOOOOO….
We hosted the Australia Day BBQ yesterday.
The power cut off this morning and we missed the alarm clock.
Rainer began Prep today.
Mackinley is starting tomorrow and has his mate Lachlan here for a play.
I’m going to catch the challenges at Bon’s CC tonight. Not sure about how much chatting I’ll do, but I desperately need to do Peta’s Blinder while I’m cooking biscuits, bread and a new chicken dish!!
and remember…

Gigi, was thinking of you today and wondering how Rainer went on his first day. We’ll have to catch up for coffee soon when the dust settles.
I hope the boys have a wonderful first day back to school and enjoy the rest of the term.I hope you get some scrapping done at Bon’s, I can’t wait to see your work again.
