June the end

It is ball season, so we are ball gown shopping - again! And playing with hair styles and leaving things until the last minutes as usual. Both girls are involved this year and apparently wearing last year's dress or swopping is not an option. Sigh.
Duncan and Tracy were away to Christchurch this weekend; Tracy's brother is seriously ill. Mum has been up helping during the week, not that we saw much of her.
The week has been busy with a very good pastoral care seminar at church on Friday night and Saturday - a local counselor is upskilling people, and it is great to have quality training on site.
Shadow played fetch with another hedgehog and by the evening was feeling very sorry for herself as her face swelled up; she looked like a different dog, and couldn't eat her dinner. It came right by the next morning. I suspect she hasn't learned her lesson.
Zach and Hannah are busy fundraising for football and for school, selling chocolates and May's pies, you've been warned!
