Second day of Winter

There's a theme started here for June, but it's really just because I am not feeling very creative with my blog-post titles. Please don't expect that you will be getting two posts a day for the rest of the month!

Anyway, today is another glorious Winter day in Melbourne. Started off cold and frosty, but then the Sun came out and it seems like Spring. After taking BallFiend to kinder, Thumper and I headed off to a local cafe to meet The Librarian and LittleMissF for a coffee and catch-up. It's school-selection season, and all us mums of 4-and-a-bit-year olds are busy touring local schools and trying to decide which one to go to. So The Librarian and I had lots of notes to compare.

My morning had been a real rush, because I slept in, because of Thumper's night antics, and I had rushed out of the house with no breakfast. So it was nice to indulge in a yummy cooked breakfast, even if I did have to share it with Thumper. After a while, LittleMissF and Thumper tired of playing at the cafe, so we decided to go across the road to the park. As we were preparing to leave the cafe, I heard my name being called and turned around to see a mum from my former "Mothers' group" - I hadn't seen her for about 3 years, since our Mothers group sort of petered out. She was there with her second and third children. Her eldest daughter who is the same age as BallFiend was at kinder too. After a bit of a catch up (and more school-choice talk), The Librarian and I wandered over to the park and let the girls have a run about.

With Kinder pick-up time approaching, it was time to say goodbye to the sunshine and go on our way. I stopped in at Creche to retrieve blankie and popped in to say hello to SingingCheese who had just finished up a RhymeTime session. Thumper enjoyed playing chasey with SingingCheese's daughter MiniBabybel but it all ended in tears when Thumper decided to live up to her name and gave MiniBabyBel a shove.

So we said goodbye and I hurried off, to collect my pants from the tailor and get home in time for Thumper to squeeze in a nap before we go out again to collect BallFiend from Kinder. Then it will be off to visit CutLuce and so we have some stern words to baby cousin about coming out soon!
