More in March

Last week I spent three days in Auckland, being with family as we celebrated the life of my uncle, Alan Sim. Alan was a railway enthusiast, a marathon runner (25!), and father of three. He had battled cancer for several years.I went up with Mum and Dad, and we've had good family time together. I even manged to dash out to studentsoul(Auckland) for a couple of hours.
The wheels fell off at home, as Chris tried to cope with all the extra bits I had planned for him. I was going to be away at school camp with Zach anyway, but things didn't go quite to plan. Hannah couldn't find her Girl's Brigade group so started walking home on her own, so wasn't there when Chris came to pick her up again, in fact, hadn't been seen. They were in fact in the kitchen, and she didn't quite look hard enough. Chris found her trudging slowly home, and we've had a wee chat about initiative and staying where you are supposed to be.
Zach had a great time at camp, they slept in tents one night, and he just loved the archery component. The teachers enjoyed the camp, it was a good group to take away.
Janine is late home two nights a week at the moment with croquet, a practice and a game. She gets herself to and from the grounds, which is a bit of extra biking for her.
Katarina has found not working means you have time, but not money. She was tutoring English to some Korean children at the start of the year.
