Rain, Rain and more rain.

We spent last week battling the flu and the weather. Caleb came down sick first followed by me and then Bethany. Joshua is sick this week and Daniel (the most unhealthy person in the family) has escaped it. The rain was also pouring down all week which made the journey to school a nightmare. Wednesday it took an hour to get to school. I spent a lot of time in the school cafe with other mums trying to wait our the traffic. Thursday I felt so ill I actually spent the whole day in bed and Daniel had to take the day off to watch the other two invalids. On Friday evening I was much better and took Joshua to the memorial of his French teacher. The school had put together a book of memories to send to the teacher's mother, now 83 and living in Marseilles in France. Her son had been teaching in Kenya for 25 years! It was my first time driving home by myself in the dark and I really put my foot down. Needless to say I wasn't car jacked!!

This week the weather is much improved which is fortunate because Mon and Tues Afternoons were sports afternoons for the lower school. Sports day is split because there are so many children. It is much more manageable with 2/3 year groups at a time. I forgot my camera for Joshua and Bethany but have some shots of Caleb performing.
