What's been happening?

Rightio, so I thought I better update you all! We are currently in the middle of week three of the term (7 to go... Not that I'm counting or anything!) Last week felt like the longest week on the planet, it just seemed to drag on and on. This might have been because it was our first full week back at school, our first week only had two days!

So let's all travel back to week one of school, I flew home (back to Charleville) on Easter Monday. Flew home to a nice and balmly 32 degrees! (Practically cold compared to what the temperature was when I flew to Brisbane, 39 degrees!). We then had what's called a 'travel day' where the teachers and students aren't required to be at school, however all the staff was there anyway! This was a great day, we went out for lunch (at the RSL) and I had a good catch up with everyone. Then the dreaded kids came back... dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn! :P Anyway, they came back and we had a great two days, they were very calm and I was convinced they had plotted against me and were lulling me into a false sense of security! We then had ANZAC day, where we had to march as a school and be a part of the ceremony. This was believe it or not, the first march and ceremony I had ever been too. I, of course got sunburnt because it wasn't nice and cool it was a good 30 degrees in the sun! Mum, Dad, Aunty Jan and Uncle Bob all arrived on Friday afternoon to stay the evening. They left at about 8:30 Saturday morning heading to Longreach, then up to Cloncurry/Mt Isa and then west towards Alice Springs. They're on their way to Uluru! Mum and Dad traded the outlander and bought a pajero specially for the trip! It was nice to see them, plus mum made me some savoury mince to put in the freezer! The rest of the that weekend was full of planning, along with last weekend!

So, as you all know last weekend was the ball and that was a great night. They had a photobooth and a girl with a guitar as the entertainment. The girl was really good, however they needed another kind of band or DJ, or even an iPod would have been better for dancing...

Winter is definitely coming, we've had a cold snap that started at the end of last week. (Like most of QLD and NSW). It got down to 2 degrees on Saturday and Sunday morning and was a chilly 1 degree when I went to work yesterday morning! Though we've been warming up to about 17/18 most days. It is supposed to get back to 26 later this week though! :(

Anyway, now that I've updated you with the weather! Ha ha ha.... I'll leave you all be. Nothing much is happening here. Very much the same day in day out. Steph I've been really enjoying reading your posts, all those places you've been too! Not long now until you're back in Brisbane! You, me and Luisa will need to catch up when I'm back for holidays (end of June). We could even Skype you, Bec!

Lots of Love,
