I know I’ve been rather quiet here for a bit; I’ve been experiencing a form of writers block.
Anyhow at my husband’s repeated requests for 7 Quick Takes, I’m ‘picking the pen’ back up.

Last week we had a front row seat; all afternoon we watched planes fly over water bombing on the fire over the ridge. They were so low we could easily read their numbers.
My friend Rebecca is a 12 minute car drive away but we discovered only 50 secs by plane. (We were on the phone and timed flying over her house to mine)

This week Rebecca and I gathered together daily for ‘school’. A novel experience for us both and one that was very successful. I’ll have lots more to share about the week, so stay tuned.

I’ve recently overhauled our menu and we are experiencing many new dishes. I’m being rather creative in my cooking. Princess is eager to learn, and I’m enjoying having a kitchen companion. I know some of you are waiting for me to share my menu, I haven’t forgotten, I will post it.

Last week I went to borrow some maths books from our library. I’ve been borrowing these since Koala was 6. Imagine my consternation when I couldn’t find any maths books for the younger set in the non-fiction section! When I asked the librarian where they were she informed me that; they don’t keep books older than 10 years!!!! They’ve been tossed!!!!

As of January 2010 NSW will have a new school leaving age of 17. It will have implications for homeschoolers, more plans are in progress, and TAFEs are seriously considering raising their age entry to 17. I will keep you updated as I learn more.
