First Week at Mitchell School

Nic, Catherine & I have almost had a week at school! TGInearlyF! Not really, we're enjoying ourselves! I have a lovely class of 18 Year 2 & 3s and the kids have a lovely young lady teacher, Ms Pain! They commented that they have naughty kids in their class - not like at Amamoor! I'm getting my head around C2C and Mrs Moore has left me detailed planning (there's no time for FUN - as if!). We have cycled to school as it only takes 10 mins - but is FREEZING! We have had frosts most mornings! I've borrowed a heater from the school!
What has John been up to, you ask? He is a rousie (roust a bout, to you Aussies!). He is glad he is not shearing those Merino 'wrinklies'! He came home late last night after his first day feeling rather stiff. He has opted to get a ride with one of the shearers as he had to travel very slowly at dusk because of the Roos (we don't have bull bars on the Kluger).
Nic hasn't yet caught any yabbies in his pot, but may have more luck as we got some smelly liver from the butcher today. Nic & Catherine have made damper in the camp oven - delicious with butter & Amamoor honey! We're learning how to be Aussie campers!
We trust that all is well with you!

  1. Looks like it is quite a chilly ride to school. Glad to hear you're getting your head around the C2C - you'll just have it sorted and it will be time to move on. Cheers mate! Donna
