A Box of Chocolates...

You never know what you're gonna get!
Today was good!
Thursday was cool - Sophie won the zone finals for impromptu speech, and I was there to see her do it!
Friday was a little distressing - woke up to a leaking chemo line - panic again but not as much as last time - more disappointed that the mini-gig I'd set up for staff briefing wasn't gonna happen (after all that practice! Sigh...)
Daffodil day - loads of people wearing daffs to aid Cancer Society - I felt quite supported!
In the evening out to Plonie and Brian's - come dessert, Brian not feeling at all well so we left early-ish - found out on the way home that Plonie had taken him into North Shore Hospital - he has a kidney stone, which when I last heard they were expecting him to pass naturally.
Also heard that my eldest bro-in-law, Paul, is in Hospital with gall stones...
Today a glorious start to the day - Ian M came round and helped to lop dangly bits off the rubber tree...quite an impact was made...
A phone call at around 6.30pm to say Sophie HAS now made it into the Trash2Fashion finals.
Apparently people were worried about her umbrella (a bit spikey), OR thought she had adult help to make her costume (she sweated at it all by her own self)...
The plot thickens!
Meanwhile, there is ALWAYS tradescantia to be eliminated!

  1. Why do adults always seem to be underestimating children these days?

  2. Hmmm...
    does it work the other way as well??

    Don't ever think WE underestimate you, but, likewise, we have no desire to put undue pressure on you!
    Looking forward to the fashion!
