FAMILY

Is there anything nicer and more comforting than having family around?

Rachel, Tom and Indy arrived this afternoon and it seems as if they've been here for ages.

Indy and I started at the coolest of the warm pools and went to increasingly hotter pools and then spent quite some time in the 25 metre tepid pool.  Indy had a great time.  He's a neat little swimmer.

Steve and I got a pot roast into the Dream Pot before they arrived.  We took it down to their cabin where there was room for all of us to eat.  Although I had left it cooking for 6 hours, the meat was still too pink for any of us.  Fortunately, it was a large roast and we were able to cut plenty of meat from the sides.  It was really tasty and everyone enjoyed it.

I saw Indy's school photos, portfolio of work and his report for the first half of the year.   I nearly cried when I read the opening sentence ---- "Indy is a bright, inquisitive boy, with a heart of gold."   What a lovely thing to write!  What a perceptive teacher!
