Always a favourite! Absolutely perfect specimen of nature's miracles! Luvvvv it!

School closed today!! Woohoo!! It was a looooong and verrrrry busy term, these old bones really felt it!! Phew!!

Apart from all the functions and activities we had this term, I still moved office, had to change computers twice, with all the hickups involved, moved the text book store, done a course on Library book control, C's health problems were very upsetting and heart breaking to me as well, and to top it all, our Lillian had to leave us after 14 years of service, and that while we were working very long hours at school and then still had to keep this huge house and garden in order! It was definitely not an easy 3 months, my age really shows now!! Hiehiehie!

The good news is: Three weeks of holidays and we employed a real sweety, Rosina, on Monday, to replace Lillian, after one whole month of struggling!! She is sooo friendly, really understands what we expect from her and has lots and lots of initiative!! She ironed the washing today ?.. absolutely perfect!! She is a real star!! Thank you dear Lord, we just simply could not manage for much longer!!
