Well, what a couple of weeks the Olympics provided us with! 4/5 of us got up at 5.15am to watch the Opening Ceremony (Jack didn't!) and we weren't disappointed! A lot of it was on in the middle of the night for us but we were able to avidly catch up the next day and eagerly checked the medal table every morning :) This is one time when we were sad not to be in the UK. Loved watching the Triathlons (which we watched live) and the cycling and athletics.
Both Sam and Jack went skiing last week. Sam did cross country skiing which he quite enjoyed while Jack ended up teaching his class mates downhill skiing, none of whom had done it before! Had to get up at 3.45am to take Jack and his friends to North Melbourne to catch the coach!
I did my third Half Marathon yesterday and was very pleased with my 1:54hr time and recovered very well too! Each one I am getting a little bit faster:)
Loving the new photos of you all - particularly Caroline with her GB t-shirt! Such a shame the olympics have finshed - we all enjoyed as a family watching it every day and particularly loved the cycling and rowing.
ReplyDeleteBank holiday weekend in UK this weekend so it is bound to rain! But will be nice to have a long weekend. Jess has a lovely 16th birthday and had a lively party on saturday night :-) She is now waiting for her GCSE results tomorrow and has a little party organised afterwards with her friends. She is getting excited about starting at Barton in the next few weeks.
Ems is busy applying for jobs and is working all extra shifts at Bear & Ragged. She is also going to start her driving lessons again next week so hopefully she will now start to sort her life out a bit! Student days are over and life will get hard as a full-time worker!
I am still waiting for summer to arrive - last week was lovely but has turned cooler again and rain forecast for next 4 days :-(
Love to all, Lisa xxx
