So many lasts for me: this will be my last week at school (ever!)..many farewells already but the big one is this Thursday 20th at the Mawson Club. last night I enjoyed a wonderful night celebrating with my school executive team and partners at Courgettes. It is an emotional time for me..people say such beautiful things..it is a wonderful way to end my career but still a big week to get through with all the speeches and final assemblies and packing up.
Alongside all this we are planning for Christmas. The shops are crowded, no room in the carparks; I am conscious of all the tizzy rubbish and ephemera everywhere. So much waste and landfill happening so we try to ensure our gifts are locally made if possible with minimal packaging and without too much of a contribution to the planet's demise.
We have had good regular rain for the last month and we are enjoying being home today with the sound of rain outside (with intermittent heavy showers). Canberra looks unexpectedly green, green, green and the dams are at 43% capacity (that's over 10% increase this year). That is very exciting for us.
Ella was very active this morning You can see from these pictures how aware she is of her hands and toes now. She recognises "clap hands" and waves her hands around madly on cue. Her top front teeth are getting more visible now. Ella has just moved into her brand new designer high chair, for special occasions.
