Good morning on Thurs, Oct 11, 2007 (from the archives)


Well, Mike is working from home today in an effort to get some new work off the ground. So, I left the boys having a leisurely breakfast to catch my bus. Last night Toby was superb. Mike went out at 1900 to a tramping club meeting (without Kara who had cooked up dinner and didn ’t want it ruined!) so I put Toby to bed. He was no bother, and slept all night. Ah – it is nice having uninterrupted sleep.

Tonight we ’re off to Lower Hutt to go shopping. Toby needs some shoes and we have a shoebox for children who might not get any presents somewhere in the world at Christmas, to fill up with new toys. The sheet that comes with the shoebox is very useful. You have to choose one thing from each category (something a child can love (teddy), something to play with (cars), something for hygiene (toothbrush), something else I can ’t remember) and cram it in the box. We have chosen to get something for a 2 – 4 year old boy. You can also put in a note or a photo but I think we will not get around to that. It is due back at work tomorrow. You put in $7 for postage. I ’m looking forward to shopping with Toby for it.

The weather is wet, wet, wet. But no wind. Very grey.
