We’re a little under the weather in our house this week.
Nothing serious, just a tummy bug that we are sharing around with each other.
But, it means we’ve had to put off a start to kinder for the term and there have been LOTS of requests for ‘cubbles’ on the couch. (We’re still working on that middle ‘d’ sound). And, there’s been a lot of self entertaining.
We’ve read a LOT of books and watched a LOT of Wiggles and Bananas in Pyjamas, but when the kids have been asleep, I’ve been watching some tv myself. Mostly online as it seems there’s never anything I want to watch on TV at the time I have to watch it.
I’ve been really enjoying this program from the ABC – warning, that it does contain some strong language – but it has such a beautiful heart. Very entertaining.

And while I am talking about watching funny things online, here’s something to make you laugh -comedian Steady Eddy on youtube.
I’ve also been reading articles by my favourite funny columnist at the Age newspaper, Catherine Deveny. She’s very irreverent but always makes me smile because her take on life is so funny but true.
I hope we’re all better by the start of next week. I have another week of work lined up and I am looking forward to it as I am rather sick of being housebound and could do with a week of heading off to the city with the other grownups!
Thanks for the lovely message. I am a great fan of Steady Eddy. The little fella in my class with ACP has started learning how to use an electric wheel chair this term so that he can ‘walk’ down to the milkbar and get the paper with his dad and help his mum with the shopping at the local supermarket. He still walks around home and school in his frame but it is so much ‘cooler’ to be in control of his own chair than to be pushed around in a ‘stroller style chair ‘ by others when you are nine. He is doing really well with the joystick which actually surprised me as I thought that kind of movement would be difficult because of his hand shaking. A side bonus is that he has now become very interested in playing Play Station games that use a joy stick. Now he can play games with his cousins when they visit. Love it!
