Thursdays news

Well today the senior kids had swimming competition, against Lawrence. Olly wasn't in it though as he is classified as a junior so he stayed at school (to his disgust). It certainly wasn't very warm, 19 degrees brrrr . There is no way I would of been swimming :)
After finishing about 1.00 we came home and then went and picked Olly and Abby up a bit earlier and went to the Farmarama in Lawrence. It is a farming thing that is held every two years and there is all sorts of different farming things there. I spent a bit of time in the satelite tent, asking questions etc as this dial up is driving me nuts. Only problem is the price and the usuage. Mmmmm, some convincing Lionel I think :).
When we got home the boys decided that they were going to show Abby how to ride her bike over the motorgate as she wont. She is scared she will fall in. Well it was quite humerous. Jake was doing wheelies and riding over some of it on two wheels Olly was riding like a mad man And even Flo joined in.
But Abby would ride flat out up to it and jam the brakes on. There was no way she was going over it on the bike. Jake was saying "Look Abby, even Flo is doing it". To which Abby replied "yea, but shes not riding a bike is she!" I had to laugh at that.

LOL! Flo' is leading the way Abby ;-)

Maybe a plank across the bars would ease the way...

Thanks Bronny, this post and the photos have really made me smile (after a crappola 24 hours). Love the bit about Flo, hee hee.

Yeah, we are on broadband here, but it is terrible (not much better than dial up speed). Am also yet to convince hubby re. satelite, lol. Maybe in a couple of years it will be cheaper?

Oh Bron Jake looks like a teenager in that pic at swimming. Glad to see it isn't just my cats following people around like a dog!!
