Term Two: Week Ten ~ Emotional

 Another weird and out of sorts week for us. Monkey was still sick. He continued to sleep and rest. Thankfully he is slowly moving away from his nocturnal behaviour and thus able to be awake more during the day. Munchkin worked hard and completed an entire chapter of math in two days so I declared him finished and awarded him extra holiday time. We did lots of reading but finished no books. We will continue some reading over the winter break and Munchkin will work on Spanish. Otherwise the goal is to get everyone well and keep them that way.

Our week started with a combined event at our church to say goodbye. The other congregation that shares our building, and welcomed us with open arms eleven years ago when our previous building was sold, have had to disband. The reasons are varied and incredibly political and have left us all feeling angry, but nothing can be done. Thankfully, we can continue to meet in the building, but they must find a new home. We shared communion, learned lovely things about the history of their congregation during a reflection period, and enjoyed a delicious morning tea together.

My attempts at an artistic photo of an old house while out running some errands Sunday afternoon. I only had my phone with me, and should have zoomed in. But I liked the bare winter look of the tree in front of this older house. I didn't get the effect I was trying for, but oh well.

I'm much happier with these two photos I took whilst out for a short afternoon walk with Munchkin Sunday afternoon. From the blooms in the first photo (which looked similar to the buds forming in his Snake Plant) we learned that Agave plants and Snake Plants are related. I also loved the wild look of the vines and flowers entwined in the fencing with the sunset in the background.

Wednesday night hubby and I went out for a spontaneous date. No special reason, just because we could.

Another solo trip to the libraries for me this week. Monkey improved greatly through the week, but was still sick. He missed our combined church service on Sunday, and opted not to travel to youth group on his own on Friday either. No photos of my trip, just this book haul for the boys. I battled rain and wanted to be home before dark. Only one book for me - a new buddy read to start with my mom.

Munchkin and I managed another walk Saturday afternoon in between all the rain. These beautiful flowers against the small patch of blue sky were a nice contrast to the general dreary grey which was our rainy Saturday.

I completed the monthly challenge again.

And earned a walking award this week as well.

Two short walks with Munchkin, one trip to the shops for groceries, and the trip to the libraries means I got good walking in this week.

I had a good Wordle Week - ending with a fluke!
