The kids woke us up this morning want a wee - really it was a ploy to get us up so that they could go and see their friends! Another beautiful day was expected so we spent the morning doing schoolwork so that we could go and explore in the afternoon. Katharine has finally got into self-directed study and while everyone else was still waking up she began work. She had completed two hours and two subjects before we had finished breakfast and completed another 2 subjects while we were getting dressed and having morning tea. This made life much easier when it came to educating the other three as they could spread out at the table. We had lunch and then set off for Inverloch about 20 minutes away. At the tourist information centre they gave us a list of sites we could top up with drinking water. We found the launderette and did two loads of washing. Nick took the three smaller ones to play in the park while Katharine and I bought a box of ice creams and then went to meet them. We switched the washing to the dryer and went to top up with water. I checked the Internet while Nick filled up all our empty containers and by the time we had finished the washing was dry. A quick shop in Foodlands and we were on our way back home. The sun was still shining when we got back so Nick and the kids went for a swim with the George and Doris while I unpacked the washing and the groceries. I joined them for a little while but didn't last long before heading home to make dinner. The clocks went back today so it seemed to get dark quite quickly. After dinner we showered the kids and did a tick check. They watched a dvd while we sat outside and chatted to George and Doris for the last time as it is their last night tonight. I managed to get the kids into bed around 830pm however it didn't last long as they all found ants in their beds - suddenly we had an infestation and I had to spray everywhere so they all came back outside until the smell cleared!!
