Dad and Harry finished the course on Friday and everyone, students and instructors, were really pleased with how the course went overall. Dad, as usual, received a lot of positive comments written on the course evaluation forms. Both Dad and Harry found some things which needed to be changed re: the course and they will be making revisions before the next course on this aircraft. Dad flew into Brisbane yesterday and I picked him up from the HB airport today. He is very happy to be home and I am very happy to have him back home!
I continued on with my exercise classes this week - still enjoying all of them and look forward to going to each of them. I also had my usual Tuesday 'standing appointment' with Helen and my facial.
I spent some more time with Robyn this week. We were working on getting the new Visiting Teaching lists organized. It took a number of hours to do it, so I was glad that I could help Robyn do it. She decided who should be partners and who should visit teach who and I did the typing up of the lists. Our Relief Society secretary, who would normally be involved in the typing, was out of commission this week, so that's why I was helping Robyn out. It's so much nicer to be able to do tasks with someone else rather than on your own.
I had my 'grandma fix' this week again babysitting Scarlett (4) and Indiana (3). Last time I babysat them, they tried to become little cats by taping pipe cleaners to their faces - needless to say, it didn't work. :-) So, I told them that I would bring something the next time I babysat them, to make little cat faces. I went on the net and found these cute little cat masks. I brought all the supplies needed to make these masks. We worked on them after dinner and they turned out really cute. The girls really liked them and today, at church, their dad showed me a picture of the girls wearing the masks at the mall - how cool is that that they loved them that much. :-) They told me that the next time I come, they want to make dog masks, so it's back to the net to see what I can find.
My teacher friend, Bronwyn, was in charge of a 'Biggest Afternoon Tea' (a way to raise money for cancer) at Kawungan State School on Wednesday and invited me to come along. It turned out to be more a retirement party for a teaching assistant than an afternoon tea, but I did enjoy catching up with some of the teachers and others who I know from working at Kawungan.
On Thursday, we had our weekly get together with teachers who work/worked at Kawungan. We went to a different cafe (I'm liking this change of venue each week) and there were six of us this day. As usual, it was a great gabfest with a lot of the talk being about teaching and students and other education topics.
On Friday, I went out with my friend Maureen to a movie and late lunch. I had read the book 'Me Before You' prior to Friday and then we went to see that movie. The movie was pretty close to the book and I would give it a 7.5. The only thing I didn't like was that, because I had just finished reading the book, I knew what was coming next which didn't really make it very exciting. After the movie, we went to 'Open House' and had a lovely lunch. I decided to try the filo lamb with a salad and it was delicious. I get along with Maureen really well and always enjoy our times out.
