Good morning on Wed, July 29

Happy birthday to Shona and Sharon! :-)

And because wee Karen's birthday is at the weekend and I won't be emailing then - Happy Birthday Karen!

Yes - June and July (and - ok - the start of August) are busy birthday months in the Emmerson clan.

The parent/teacher interview went well. Miss Croft spent 15 minutes saying Toby was a well-adjusted, good, sociable wee boy. We got a look at his handwriting book and his story book. She mentioned Toby likes his Wii and is teaching her all about it. He has excellent literacy skills and that bodes well for his future education. Good!

There seems to be a semblance of a plan coming together for the weekend. It could take several paths at this point. But the mains ones are:

Mike and Toby are going skiing
John and Vivienne are most likely going skiing
Ramble is likely to go to the kennels
Benjamin is likely to go to his friend's place during the week and come to us at the weekend.
Mike will try to see if Benjamin and I can join him and Toby this weekend.
If we can't get accommodation for me and Benjamin, I'll go to the rugby on Friday night (Ranfurly Shield challenge between Otago and Wellington) and spend the weekend with Benjamin here.
If we also get accommodation for the following weekend, we'll be away for a long weekend. So we will need to make sure Benjamin does have somewhere to stay and isn't a homeless waif.

Nothing like a bit of spontaneous fun and games to keep us all feeling youthful. Yeah, right. ;-)

Tramping night tonight and Mike is on the door for meet and greet. Heheheheh. I'll be riding home to take Toby to karate. Mum is likely to pick Toby up after his tennis lesson and get him ready. We have chicken drumsticks in the fridge for tonight's dinner. Yum.

Have a great day! Whatever happens this weekend is looking like fun and I am keen! Bring on Friday at 5pm!

Love,
Angela
