It's been raining on and off since Wednesday and it's great. Much colder today, with a drizzle coming down all day, but last night it poured down and my bird bath is full for the first time in ages. This is great rain for filling the dams around the countryside too.
We were lucky yesterday with the cricket in the morning and later the touch football, and managed to get both over before we got rained on. It started to rain at the end of Carly's game, but not so bad that it was a problem. Both kids had great wins at touch: Alex's team won 23-0 and Carly's won 11-0.
Lauren and Daniel went to a birthday celebration last night so we brought Zeke home with us to spend the night. He's so easy to look after that it's no trouble at all. Carly and her friend Keely had a bit of fun dressing Zeke up to look like an old man. It was a change from dressing him up to look like a little girl, why is it that girls love to do that to little boys? Normally I hate these kinds of photos where they show babies with cigarettes or bottles of beer, but this one was pretty funny. I think it was the comb-over that prompted it.
The painting is finished on the house and it looks great. I'm really happy with it. The roof has been painted the same grey as the trim and looks great when you turn the corner into our street. There's still a couple of little touch-ups to do, but you can't notice. The back of the house looks great too, so now I have a big urge to get in and do the gardens. Finding the time is the problem, I just don't seem to have any of it. Saturdays are totally shot with sport, and every second weekend Alex will be playing rep cricket on a Sunday. I don't think he has much choice, it's a case of too few players so we're stuck with it. I have to remind myself that this will be the last year for rep, he'll be too old next year (sigh of relief...).
