We got up early this morning as we had to be at Bulli High School for supervision of the Higher School Certificate. We had to be there by 8.15am.
Jack and Ty got their school bus at 8 so we left at the same time. Poor Ty had a heavy bag as he was going to school camp today until tomorrow. They are going to Mowbray Park (near Picton). He could hardly lift it but "big brother Jack" carried it to the bus for him. The bus driver asked him where he was going and Jack said he was very excited and told the driver where he was going.
John and Marilyn were still with us but they were catching the 12.17 train to Sydney as they were going to Mudgee. They are staying with he sister Anne and Alan until Friday. Then they are going to their friends at Spencer (on the Central Coast) until Sunday. After lunch they will come on down to us until time for fly to Singapore on Tuesday night. Sandy gave John the ute and said he could leave it at Thirroul station and this would save them getting a taxi.
Marilyn went to Southern Pathology to make sure they could do her blood etc for her knee replacement operation when they come back from Nepal.
We finished the supervision and then went out to Thirroul to get the ute.
We got home and had lunch then I went down the road to get some things for tea.
Jack came home in the bus on his own and after afternoon tea started on his assignment. I said I will get him some cardboard tomorrow for him.
Simon came in from work and Andrew wasn't far behind him.
We had our tea, and thought I would ring Ann. It would have been Hugh's birthday today. Watched some TV, then after supper Jack went to bed. Jack was tired and so was I.
It would have been Hugh's birthday today. I will try to ring Ann after tea.
