Last night I picked up a GameBoy Colour for Sienna from some FreeCyclers. She will be so happy!

The only thing it needs is a battery cover, so if anyone has any knowledge of where I could get one, please let me know.. if not I will check the local GameTraders.

Yesterday I got a phone call from Sienna’s school. She had been climbing on the ladder on the school playground equipment and fell off, whacking her forehead on the concrete or something and had a huge egg-sized lump on her head.  They said she seems okay and didn’t cry much (such a trooper!) but it’d be good if she went to the doctor anyway for a check up.  Bec took her there (after phoning 3 doctor’s surgeries and finding them all booked out for the day) and one had a quick look in between patients and said she is fine, but to give her Panadol and have her sit quietly for the rest of the day.  I hope she’s okay. I did get some MMS photos from Bec’s mobile sent with Sienna holding onto a frog she found in the garden and she looked quite happy, so that’s a good thing

I’d just like to say HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY EVERYONE!!

Hope it’s a good one for you

On Monday we did a little Geocaching. We drove to Catherine’s home and picked her up and went to Ipswich in a park to find a Geocache called “Just chilling in the Cribb“. Lisa and Sienna went off to the playground to have fun and Catherine and I did a search. So far, Catherine and I have looked for 2 Geocaches together and found nothing. She said she must be jinxed since we never find anything. Well, within about 5 minutes I found the Geocache! I think I’ve restored her faith in Geocaching. There wasn’t much in it, so I signed the log book but my neat little pen ran out of ink so it’s only half-legible. Oh well. I dropped off a water-saver timer Sienna found on the train once. It’s a very small Geocache so not much would fit in it. After that, we went to see where Sienna and Lisa had got to. They were down on the jetty looking at kids doing some fishing.

I found a sign on the jetty which seems to request “No mooning passing boats“…

It was getting hot and Catherine suggested I ring the “Hog’s Breath” cafe to see what time they were closing after lunch. It was 1:00pm already. I phoned and they were closing at 2:30pm so we decided to call it a day and drove there for a lovely meal. I had my usual surf n turf type meal and Sienna had chicken nuggets and chips (as usual). From there, we dropped Catherine off home again and had a drink while there. Then we headed back to my place to get Sienna and Lisa’s bags. We dropped Lisa off at the airport and I dropped Sienna home (after going there then back to my place to get her school shoes which I forgot and back to her mum’s place again) and then off to Catherine’s for the night.
