Sunday

Today being the first Sunday of the month, we went to the market.
During the week, Emily and Carissa had asked if we would take them to the town pool. They had heard of some piece of blow-up play equipment that was going to placed in the pool for a couple of hours on Sunday. They knew that we couldn't fit them in the truck, so they organised with their parents for us to have their car. There wasn't much for us to decide!!


The market was good and we all enjoyed it and found some bargains. The girls felt that they had got the biggest bargains ever! They each bought a boxed set of watch, pendant and earrings for $10. The label on each box said RRP $199. When that was pointed out to me, I managed a casual, "How wonderful". Not so Steve. In my absence, he delivered a lecture on how this works. When I returned, they appealed to me, while Steve kicked me under the table and hissed out what he had said. I said again that they had got great bargains and Steve kept quiet! The girls were happy.


It was a different story when we arrived at the pool. The toy wasn't there, because the Council said it was too windy and might rain. They soon got over their disappointment when they met up with friends and started swimming. I had a great time going from the 39.8 pool, to the 26C olympic pool. The hot pool has 3 large jets of water and I hammered some particularly sore spots.


There are events on next weekend too so it's already mostly organised that we get the car again. One event is the Cotton and Harvest Festival. Emily pointed out that it was "tradition" for us to take them to that. We've taken them to the fair and parade for the past 2 years. No doubt the pool will be on the agenda again. I also want to go to a Craft Fair, so there might have to be some juggling going on!
