Safe driving

When will drivers get it?
This morning I was on a mini bus taking my daughter to the school swimming competition and the driver insisted that he had to drive a racing car. Normally you just accept but today the story in the paper was a reckless drugged-up taxi driver trying to park on top of a tree!
And here we are being thrown around every corner the world throws at us.
Please, please, please… slow down! It is not a race.

Healthy eating

Marks the end of our cafe de coral breakfasts. After about three years they have decided to axe the set A and B combination. Whilst being no big deal it has now made it more complicated for me to order. Today is also the day our new helper arrives so from today onwards I expect home-made meals.

Wish us luck

Hike on the first day of the year

Hike

So, no prizes for the longest hike etc but it was one of our first for a long time. And it was raining harder as we climbed the hill so we decided that it was a good idea to turn around and go elsewhere.

I did manage to introduce the idea of using a map and compass which I think they didn’t really see the whole reason why we need one. Next time I hope we do something a little bit more aggressive  which will need a map.

I calculate the whole trip to be about 6km which is not too bad.
