saturday

We are all in a state of joy over the successful climb of James and his friend to Mnt Kilimanjaro  We are now planning a celebratory dinner when he returns mid week.
The children have been doing homework but the hardest worker  is Naimo who seeing me knitting decided to take it up again.. I taught her a few years ago , at her request, but she really was a bit too young but how she is going gang busters on a scarf.
The weather here is still warm but not as yesterday.  Being on Emergency services I got the note saying that the west coast is in for nasty winds.
Gemma has a terrible nasty cough and altho she was to go to a music camp and she made her best effort to get there when she ran to catch her ride she doubled up with coughing and so gave up and I bundled her into bed with hot water bottles on her chest.. my sure cure of nasty coughs.

We are listing to Bach while Naomi knits, C has gone for a walk with the dog.  A peaceful saturday afternoon.
