TGIF!

It's raining again and although I know we need the rain I wish it would rain between the hours of 10pm to 4 am I need to get my washing dry.
Up north and inland have way over the usual rain and southern states are having raging bush fires, can't they fix each other? LOL
I'm hoping it won't rain monday 26th as we will be having a BBQ lunch with lamingtons and I will make some ANZAC biscuits as well .... the inlaws will be here.

Tasmania the closest state to Antartica has been known to have snow at christmas eeeek!

[grandma3]

Good morning or afternoon Kathy. Here its raining also today. Not a hard rain that runs off but a light slow rain. Its 37 degrees and not suppose to get much warmer.

[Kathy]

Well the schools in my state are back in school for 2009!
ds2 is excited about seeing his friends again but says, ick school!
I have to pack him a couple of water bottles as it's still so hot, they only have 200 lockers for 1300 students so it's like winning the lottery in that dept, so far neither of the boys have been lucky enough to score one!

How are you warming up now, looking forward to spring?

[grandma3]

and to think our kids are still going and haven't got out for the summer yet. Wow only 200 lockers for 1300 students. That must be a small school with an overload of students. Do they get out of school early if it gets too hot in their classrooms like they do here? And yes can't wait for spring...now if the groundhog will co-operate today. Ha

[Kathy]

No lockers over here don't seem to figure much in the schools I don't know of any school that has 1 for each student ... maybe the private ones do but not the public ones. This is our local high school http://vpshs.eq.edu.au/wcmss/
I never had a locker neither did dh or even going back to my mums time.
They are allowed to take drink bottles into class on hot days and never to my knowledge has anyone got out early for the heat ... me either! We're tough here or just dumb LOL

ds2 turns 14 on friday oh boy is this mum getting old!

[seleach]

Our kids sometimes have to share lockers, but everybody has a locker.

[andyandlexismom]

We didn't have lockers until high school but then our school wasn't overcrowded like they are around here, now. I'm not sure how they handle that now.

[grandma3]

must be tough Kathy, must be tough. Ha as for getting old wait til your oldest is 32 close to 33 then you can be old. LOL. Time does fly and waits for no one. Hope you are still safe from the fires over there. A picture making the news here showed a fireman giving a kola bear a drink of water from his bottle. The little bear had burned feet i believe it stated. The wildlife people came and rescued it. It was trusting the fireman. Bless its heart. Bless everyone over there and i hope all get thru this with no more loss of life.

[Happy]

Yes, Kathy I hoe you are well and there isn't any more loss of lives. .....Gramma3, age is only a number and mine is unlisted! LOL
