Had an absolute terrible morning at the school breakfast club -one of the teachers asked us what we thought about her sending a note home with the kids who have been living long term in a motel to see if the Mums would like to come in for a coffee and to see if we can help in any way - a couple of us do budgeting and food rescue and op shops .About 10 Mums came -suffice to say the headmaster I have an appointment with our local MP - Winz sent them all out those very expensive Nadia Lim food boxes - many of them have a jug and a toaster a couple were lucky they had a microwave - enough said - but itÔÇÖs really tough out there for some of our kiwi kids
My freesias that are in a pot look as though they are about to flower - the weather is so weird no wonder they are confused .Pulled my tomatoes out and the last of my carrots -grew the little round ones that are so quick growing and are delicious- not going to overplant my pod this season
Progress is slow with Dr Seuss - might need to put a backing on it - there are so many colour changes that need darning in
Well better get cracking on my notes for this meeting - want to keep calm and organised I know we canÔÇÖt change the system but we might be able to make the motel owner treat them better after all they are making a fortune
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
