Yes..you read that right.. I'm reading... I've finished Bryce Courtney's 'The power of one' and I'm nearly half way through Richard Laymon's 'The Lake"
Schools going ok.. we have an assignment on policies and procedures...I've finished mine, just need to type it up..and the other day we did gift wrapping.. which was quite timely as I had an engagement pressie to wrap, so I took that in.
This weekend Mark and I have a 60th b'day to go to in Ballarat, the kids are staying home with Sarah (thanks Sarah)..
I took Emily to the art gallery yesterday... she had to do an art project as part of her rotary challange....love the Fredderick McCubbin painting they have 'A bush burial' and some great paintings and etchings of early Geelong by numerous artists.
Not a lot else going on...

meme it up scotty
It's been awhile since I've done these memes.. and haven't been blogging as much.. but I also notice... that alot of other people aren't blogging as much either... is this because they are blogging on facebook or myspace???...or just 'cos there's nothing to say... I just have nothing to say really.
School is going ok..although we were back in the barn on Friday....brrr....it got quite windy in there...and one of the barn doors was swigging... I swear.
Last week we went on a bit of an excursion...we had to go in pairs to 10 stores.and observe how staff approached us as a customer.... out of 10 stores we were approached with 'how ya going' in 3 stores...and 1 store the service was very mechanical... 1 store had excellent service....in the others we were not acknowledged at all.... I think I'll take more notice of this from now on...because this is what we are studying...
Two of the girls went to a well known store that sells stationary and computers...etc.. after about 5 minutes wandering around...they were asked if they need help....they said they wanted a laptop...this guy got someone from the computer area...who looked them up and down...and said something like 'all we have that is affordable is this' pointing to a $500+ laptop.. the girls said 'no we want something a bit better..for the kids to play games on'...so the guy says again 'well the only other thing we have that's affordable is this one'...pointing to a $700 one....When the girls were asking him quiestions about a more expensive one...he was sighing loudly with his hands resting on the desk... and rolling his eyes... like they were wasting his time... (they were really but he didn't know that)...what a rude man...when they came back and told us were were trying to get them to write a letter of complaint...
ok I've blahed on enough...here's some memes
