#blubberingwreck

Sometimes Ade and I are the grumpiest parents in TP; often we are the most exasperated parents and occasionally the most embarrassing parents but today we are the proudest parents in town. Both girls got honour certificates at this morning's assembly!
Esther's was for being "a bright and bubbly student in our class. She is always willing to have a go at new learning tasks and is having much success. Esther is always helpful, not only to Miss Keath but to her new friends as well. Keep up the great attitude Esther!!"

Freya's was "for consistently striving for excellence in every learning task you complete. The effort you put into researching information on your news to the class was absolutely fantastic. I think we all learnt something new about sea monkeys that day! You are such a positive member of Room 11 Freya, well done!"

I was already a bit choked...and then the lower school choir sang "Imagine", *gulp*.

Totally brilliant job darlings, Daddy and I love you sooo much xxxxx

Long time no post

I'm baaack!

Apologies and explanation:
Ade had his right knee replaced. He left us for 2 weeks and has returned with an impressive scar and a bionic joint. We missed him, bucket loads.
So I haven't been posting because I was a single parent and I didn't have time to fart let alone sit down at the computer. Please forgive me those who have already listened to my whinges about being a single parent; and to those who do it all the time, totes respect!

The other reason I haven't posted is because Ade took the camera-to-'puter cable with him and so I couldn't upload any photos. I recognise that photos maketh my blog, and so here's what's been happening:

There was a(nother) snake in the hospital. This one was a whip snake, the last was a king brown.

 Happily, there was a snake catcher not too far away!

  Shirley came to visit!

Sarah challenged Ray to 50 lengths in 50 minutes, you can read all about it here. (Yes, that's a vomit bag).

Sarah had a cheer squad.

The Pilbara has been putting on some spectacular storms and sunsets

Dr Giles has left Tompers :(  This photo needs a witty caption that I am not sharp enough to come up with...

your suggestions please.

Rosemary utilizes her third (and fourth) eye to see off a bullying magpie

Esther is still killing it in the pool.

A patient bought me flowers and wrote me a super lovely card. Where there is a three year old who needs intubating I can be counted on to make the doctor dinner; but where there is a nasty wound I am wonder- nurse!

Totes gorgeous <3
