Aint No Mountain High Enough...

To tire out Satans Minions. After more shennanigans at lunch the tribe once again failed to earn themselves any kind of treat and the yoghurts were put securely back in the fridge.

In the hopes of marching some of the high spirits out of them we headed off to Ord Hill. It's just under a 3 mile walk and is quite steep in places so this should have worked. Unfortunately they still had enough puff to whinge for the majority of the 3 miles. It took us almost two hours to complete the loop after various toilet stops, breaks to swap over who was riding shotgun in the buggy, wipe noses and take (just a couple of) photos. Even after all that they still had the energy to sing all the way home. Loudly, tunelessly and complete and utter nonsense (the favourite subjects being genetalia and toilets. Classy).

When we arrived back there was a letter from Environmental Health through the door informing us that our drinking water was not fit for human consumption due to bacterial infestation. We have to use bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruit/salad vegetables and try not to get any water in our mouths when bathing or showering. Oh, and there's been an outbreak of nits at the nursery so all in all we're feeling pretty yucky. Off to stock up on evian.
