silver Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hi Teegs I like having a house with a verandah, but I think we'll change the colour from black to something else - maybe a slate grey, or even blue.

Work still keeping you busy? Slate grey would look nice, the black stands out too much with such a light coloured building. Yeah, keeping very busy. Only got 3 more weeks until the end of the school year then I'm off for 6 weeks. I'm also trying to get my Cert III stuff finished by the end of the year. The teaching year for them finishes on the 1st of December so I've got to get my typing speed tests done by then One unit I haven't even started cause I haven't gotten the learner guide or assessment for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to get the typing tests done before teaching finished and the other stuff finished by about the 14th. I've had an interesting few days. I managed to agree to teaching some support and mainstream classes for first term next year, so 11 weeks. Luckily for me, the history and geography subjects plus the STEM classes are all programmed so I just have to teach the topic. the Sport classes are dependent on whether it's a double or two single classes (if it's a double then the year group does everything together, if single classes then I have to do some modified games to practice fundamental movement skills). I also sewed a Christmas skirt and finished it off within a few days. Considering I didn't want to do any sewing in the first place, I did pretty well. And, yeah... that's about it I think. If I don't hop on here before tomorrow, Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the 11 weeks go well, is there a prospect of more work like that? Or is that not what you want to do? for the Christmas skirt, I don't think I could sew anything like that (I can just about manage hems and buttons).

Hope you had a good Christmas, here it has just been cold and raining The job is for up to 11 weeks, cause they've already advertised it for a permanent position and aren't culling applications/doing interviews till week 2/3. The principal said there could be day to day casual work there which will help. I only need it till the end of term 2 (end of June) anyways, as it'll be a bit hard to work when heavily pregnant/with a newborn (anyone on FB might want to keep this to themselves cause I haven't told all the family yet) Buttonholes and any sewing where I need to sew straight is where I struggle... so basically most sewing Christmas day was pretty good, though it got very cold and wet in the afternoon/night. I ended up changing into a pair of jeans and a jumper. Edited December 30, 2017 by nico_collard Testing colours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I think of it, when did we get the world rep badges below our avatars? Have they been there for ages and I'm just really unobservant?

Does it look better now? Oooooh, guess what??? My brother and sister in law had their baby on Tuesday, they had a girl! On 1/29/2018 at 9:04 AM, silver said: Hope people are surviving the hot weather OK The hot weather isn't the massive concern for us in the Citrus City, there's a bushfire out of town and it's moving east at the moment (over 700 hectares so far). The first is from my grandparents' place (opposite side of town to the fire), middle one is near the hospital (south side of town and a lot closer) and the third is near the Rural Fire Service building out of town and as close as I will get. There apparently have been some idiots driving along some of the roads for a look. The news were saying it was suspicious. RFS say weather could make the fire worse tomorrow. There's another one about 10-15km in a sorta NE direction from me but cause the wind is blowing E-NE it's going in the opposite direction to town (this one was apparently a lightning strike, though that doesn't make it any better).

Hope the wind keeps the fires away from town. Very worrying. The mountain fire would have to burn 15km (and most of town) before it gets to us, so I'm pretty sure we're safe. It's also hit farmland and it's not burning there too well. They've had planes and helicopters flying over and dumping water and this gel that stops fires from spreading, which seems to have helped. They've also been doing some backburning today so that's helped. According to the Fires Near Me app, the fire's being controlled at the moment but has burnt 1333 ha at this stage. The other fire is at a similar size and is also being controlled. They're hoping to get both under control before conditions worsen (they're thinking the next few days could be pretty bad). The town is pretty smoky but okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got it under control and out. The National Park is closed and will be for a few months cause they're worried about trees falling and trying to find injured animals.

Oakie Doke Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Yesterday I discovered a new album and it's all I've been listening to on repeat since yesterday because I quite like it. It's called "No Place in Heaven" by some guy called Mika. Maybe you've heard of it, apparently it came out in 2015? I like your new house and garden Silver, and congrats on the upcoming new baby Tegan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted April 5, 2018 Author Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hi OKD I've looked up this Mika guy and apparently he is working on another album atm. I'll have to check out NPIH How are things with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
