School's back

Had our first day back with students. Was very quiet. When I arrived the students were heading off to assembly.  In the afternoon they all had sport so no students in the library. Lunch was also quiet as girls had started their sport early. So all in all a great start to the year.

City

Off to see Eileen in the city today, meeting her in the Walk Arcade.

Relaxing day

Today going to relax around the house. Already finished reading a book this morning, updated my facebook. Going to do abit of family history. Going to watch season 2 of Downton Abbey, getting ready for season 3.

Company

Today got to spend so time with female friends. Susan for a walk with her and her dog Gypsy. Then Pam who was back from holiday, lovely to chat about female things, not just cars and tools

Busy life

Have been very busy lately with my family and haven't been using my blog. Going to try and fix that from today

Glen Waverly Police Academy

The Victoria Police Academy is located at 1 View Mount Road, the grounds cover about  40 acres. We attended the Academy as part of the Library Technicians group I belong to. It was call Tech on Tour. It was a very interesting place to visit.

There library is in a tempary building at the moment, they are waiting for there building (a portable) to be ready to move into. The books are housed in a long hallway at the moment, the main work room is in the main ready room of the library so the staff share with anyone who wants to use the library.

Been taken for a drive, Josh learning to drive, got to get his hours up

New Year 2011

Happy New Year everyone, family and friends.

I didn't see the new year in. Didn't hear the fireworks that local people set off, Mum said she had heard them through the night.

Back from the beach, even got a little bit burnt. Was cloudy that day and didn't think it was that hot, but it must have been.

At Heathers today, tonight mum is doing a new years dinner for family, as Michelle wasn't there for Xmas.

 

Papamoa Beach

Visiting my sister in Papamoa for a couple of days. She is staying with her n'laws. Usually every time I visit New Zealand I go and see her there, it gives me more time with her. Jim and Beryl are great taking on n'lwas family at their house.

Makes it hard for Scott and Brenden who both can't go in the water, Have cuts that can't get wet or dirty. Last night boys saw a shark which was caught on fishing rod and then let go.

Having a lovely warm and humid summer here. Taking a bit of getting use to.

Heading back to Mum and Dad's tomorrow afternoon. Sister and her family also heading up there as well.

Today went to a garden (Te Puna Quarry Park) which was a former quarry. Beautiful hibiscus. Very dry. There are also sculptures, especially liked the big dragon.

Wetn to a Mills Reef winery, brought a bottle for tea tonight.
