Hi Everyone! A very, very quick Sunday Snapshot this week as I am very, very tired after a big weekend. That and our internet is not working very well due to the fact that Telstra has oversubscribed the network in our area – grrrrr! Such a battle we have with Telstra up here just to get half decent internet half of the time!!
Anyway – don’t get me started – it’s been a frustrating week and not much has gone right! However we have had a great weekend filled which was kicked off with a very wet and muddy night out at the John Butler Trio Concert in Kuranda on Friday night.
This photo is what we packed to take with us to the concert ……………………….
And this is us at the concert, and yes, before anyone asks, Kipp is wearing a garbage bag – no judging – it did the job!
It was a fun night out, Grandma came too (kids can now say they went to their first rock concert with their Grandma!) but we did get pretty wet despite Matt ‘mcgivering’ up a great little tarp shelter for us which was the envy of many a group at the concert. This was the kid’s first ever concert and it was great that the John Butler Trio tickets were free for kids under 12 – made for a very affordable night out for us!
Due to the wet weather, hockey was cancelled on Saturday – thank goodness, as we were one very tired and very grumpy family after a midnight finish the night before for the concert. We ended up heading out for a drive on Saturday to spend a bit of time together as a family and then holed up in the house to watch Cool Runnings (kids loved it – one of my childhood favourites – saw it at my first ever trip to the movies in Tauranga, New Zealand with my cousins, the Lear boys!) and have a very early bedtime.
Today we spent the day in Cairns at a District Scout Rally, before rushing back home to check some new workers in who are helping with avocado picking tomorrow, and get all the picking sticks cleaned and sharpened and bags ready for an early start tomorrow.
So that’s us – I’m off to bed too tired to say much more! Apologies for no Friday Farming post this week but our slow internet is making it very difficult to load my Joel Salatin Wrap-up photos so I will keep trying and hopefully have the post finished tomorrow.
Hope you are all well – have a great week!
PS. The two links below are fantastic little clips I saw on Facebook this week – loved them – definitely worth watching to kick your week off right!
