She's growing up so fast.

 

Today our eldest granddaughter started kindergarten. She's 4 and looks so excited and grown up in her kinder windcheater. 

The Sydney lot have left to stay with Mads' parents until they head back to NSW on Monday. We shall catch up at One's on Saturday for a family get together. I must say it is quite a relief to have the house back. I don't mind kids at all. I understand they are noisy and like to play and siblings can be rough but these two are completely undisciplined. In fact the more Audrey is asked to not do something the more she does it with a look on her face that says she knows exactly what she is doing. According her mother, 3 year olds don't know that they are doing anything wrong so you shouldn't tell them off - just praise them for good behaviour. Well THAT ain't working! And my table drawn on, broken toys, food and toys thrown around the place, walls kicked and thumped and a constantly crying younger sibling are evidence of this. But I am just the grandmother and the mother in law so keep my lips sealed. It's just as well that when not being feral they are actually delightful kids.

Gave plasma again today. Every second Thursday for the forseeable future. 

Mother in Law turned 90 today. Himself went to see her with Jinx this afternoon. Two and Himself went yesterday and she was pleased to see Two but is still very much in lala land. Confused as to where her husband is (dead but she thinks he's living in the same facility, going to work and ignoring her), where the movie theatre has gone (it was opposite Coles in Melbourne when she worked at Coles decades ago but she seems to think it was opposite her house) and so on. The facility gave her a cake for her birthday for morning tea. She rang Himself upset that they were making such a fuss and wouldn't let her pay for the cake!!
