The Boys have now been back at school for 2 weeks and into the swing of early mornings again! Must admit, it was a bit tricky for the first few days and they did find it difficult to string a sentence together, but think we're there now! Sam is now in Year 10 and Will in Year 9. This week Will went on a 3 day surf camp to Lorne and had an awesome time but was exhausted when he got home! Next week he is going to swim with seals - not quite what's on the English school curriculum!!
Jack has started his new SEDA course (Sports Education and Development in Australia) and is specialising in football. It's a 2 year diploma in Sports Management and Coaching so he gets to play football virtually every day - right up his street! He has also been doing quite a lot of reffing.
Sam has started training with his new football team "Bentleigh Greens". They seem a far more professional set-up than the team he was playing for last year (Brighton) and he likens it to Eastleigh Academy who he played for in the UK, so that is good.
Chris was in Sydney for the week and had quite a stressful time. His operation seems to have been successful - he now goes out for 3 hour bike rides including hill-climbs and has cycled into work a couple of times.
I have been making some blinds this week and am doing some interior decorating for Natalie next week. Had a Tri this morning - conditions were hot (33 degrees) and windy (30km/h) so not the best. Am taking part in the PRW Corporate Triathlon next Sunday since someone dropped out of the PwC team and Chris kindly offered my services! There are over 6,000 competitors - the largest Triathlon to take place in Victoria! Let's hope the weather conditions are better than today :)
Good to hear the boys are back at school/college and enjoying it :-) Girls are both in run up to lots of exams - final GCSEs for Jess and AS/A2 for Ems so lots of revision in our house....
ReplyDeleteVery impressed with the blinds/makeover you did for Natalie - could you just redecorate one of my rooms whilst you are back in the UK!!
Hope you are all looking forward to coming home for a few weeks and I am sure you have got lots of things planned.
Saw the photos from PRW triathlon and you now look like a professional athlete Caroline - well done!
Spring has arrived in Romsey - 15 degrees today and sunny which is lovely and forecast for next few days is good!
Celebrated Bexs 21st birthday and engagement to JC at weekend and went to Orange Rooms in Southampton. Caught up with lots of friends and had lovely evening. My feet were killing me after hours in heels so spent Sunday in flip flops! Unfortunately it rained all day...
Jess has her interview for Barton Peveril next week and already has offer from Peter Symonds so decisions have to be made :-) She is getting excited about her prom and we are busy sorting out hair, make up etc.
Look forward to seeing you all at the end of the month and catching up properly. Lots of love, Lisa xxxx
