Camping trips

Last weekend we went camping in the wheatbelt, Dryandra woodlands. Supposedly full of wildlife which we didn't see unfortunately, but we had a lovely time in the woods. Really interesting and beautiful trees like the Brown Mallet and Kwongan. The boys roasted marshmellows in the fire and it was warm and peaceful. This weekend summer will arrive... 32 degrees predicted for Sunday. We're off camping again, this time in Dwellingup. We've been there a few times but this one will be on a different campsite: a site for groups and with a big group we will be! Around 10 families of Willem's Pre-Primary class should all be there on Saturday night! We're going for 2 nights. Looking forward to it! This Wednesday I went to see the film The Hunter with a couple of women. I enjoyed the film especially the Tasmanian landscape. Another destination added to the wish list! Next week I start working, 4 mornings assisting with the Dutch Nursery and a couple of hours individual teaching. This term I will work just 2 mornings as an assistant, which is easy! Will have my first team meeting on Tuesday too! Feels quite strange and exciting to be part of a school team again..Yesterday I found out some friends are leaving in March. Still the biggest drawback of our life in the oil industry. Next Wednesday is the first meeting of the bookclub I've started. Around 10 women! We read the Potato Factory by Bryce Courtenay which is all about English Convicts arriving in Hobart, Tasmania early 1900's. Interesting and gruesome too! Quite curious what the others think too..
Willem is still crazy about his wii. I can't believe how quickly he managed to be soooo good at it as well! Frank started painting a lot. Right, will have to start packing the car now! Have a good weekend too!
