jessmeyer27: Me at the front. Rowed in two 1km races today. Competitive sport way outside my comfort zone, but gotta do what challenges you, so they say....
jessmeyer27: Happy Birthday Nicholas!
jessmeyer27: It was a bit too windy for candles, but we tried to #lightthedark as it came in. Refugees are welcome.
jessmeyer27: I walk the dog, Nick walks the goat.
jessmeyer27: Ducks a bit higher than usually
jessmeyer27: How To Be Mean Mummy #9: Refuse to give toddler your yummy milo "for a taste" even though the poor darling has already finished her own. Such a horrible Mum.
jessmeyer27: Sadie raids my bookshelf not to read, but to have a drum set. She has even demanded I sing along.
jessmeyer27: I often have a cat on my lap, so why not try a goat for something different? (His feet are covered in chook poo so as cute as he is, he's a bit on the nose!)
jessmeyer27: The baby goat got called 'Bud.' (Toothless's nickname is Bud so that was the compromise. Think How To Train Your Dragon those of you with kids).
jessmeyer27: Halo of hair
jessmeyer27: How to be Mean Mummy #8: Leave toddler alone when she screams "I don't want to go to bed! Leave me alone!"
jessmeyer27: A very Aussie experience.
jessmeyer27: Just kicking back in the sun, enjoying the attention.
jessmeyer27: Neighbours

jessmeyer27: Beware ducks crossing
jessmeyer27: Cuddly puss
jessmeyer27: A lovely morning of origami with the primary kids up the street.
jessmeyer27: Asia Puss not helping fold the washing.
jessmeyer27: Fly fly fly
jessmeyer27: A windowsill lined with origami artworks this morning. One of the pleasures of teaching Japanese kids :-)
jessmeyer27: Making videos to watch for self assessment.
jessmeyer27: Practicing reading picture books for a primary school visit later in the week.
jessmeyer27: Ready for rhyming matching pairs in class today.
jessmeyer27: The little goat family.
jessmeyer27: A glorious morning for rowing
jessmeyer27: Baby goat doing very well. Now he needs a name. Any suggestions?
jessmeyer27: How to be Mean Mum #5: Force toddler to wear Tinkberbell pyjamas because My Little Pony ones had to go in the wash.
jessmeyer27: Sadie says "You, me and Daddy, we go donut shopping!"
jessmeyer27: Sadie, 2, thinks 'A Man For All Seasons' is just a bit much, while Zoe, 5, contemplates the literary relevance of Albert Camus' 'The Outsider.' #latergram
