Our Maths Dept (about seven teachers and 28 kids) are going to China next year so we are all busily fundraising. I have been baking a large chocolate cake on a Tuesday and a Thursday to sell at staff morning tea time. Ross has taken over now as he is raising money for the Barbershop National competition in September. The slices are $1 each and this is today's leftovers - which will be enjoyed by everyone here!
I am hoping that Colin will be able to go with us, but currently it is only open to Yr 11 & 12 students and he is in Yr 10 - but I'm sure that there will be cancellations closer to the time.
My Dad is not very well at all. I had to take him to the renal specialist last week who said he felt that Dad's kidney and heart are only working at 30%. The next day I had to take him to the doctor because his foot is so sore. When he took his socks off I could not believe what a dreadful sight it was! Swollen with a big wound under the heel and with a fungal infection all over it. My Mom has to soak his foot every day and put a special silver plaster on it. We go back next week to see if it has improved at all.
And I spent last Saturday in bed. Now for me to spend all day in bed I must really have been ill. Getting better now, though
This term has been very busy - Colin has sport almost every day; I have to take him to some of them and we have had meetings at least twice a week. Roll on next week when I don't have to rush or make school lunches!

Just catching up on blog reading. How exciting to have a trip to China in the pipeline. That is so exciting for you. Our Miss 15 has a trip to Germany at the end of next year (Year 12) but unfortunately no parents helpers needed. It's a 2 month exchange (we get to have the German host girl for 2 months after she gets home). School was never that exciting when I went!
How is your Dad doing? Such a worry when they are getting older and not well...
