eights kids eight kms two ticks
Ticked off the To Do List……make sure everyone can walk ?????km. We don’t actually have a set amount, but we did eight kilometres today and everyone down to T3 managed it without a murmur, so we’re a few steps closer. In another month or so we’ll be doing the Coast to Coast, which is 16km, so perhaps that’s our goal.
Also ticked off today…….well, not exactly ticked off, but one of our goals is to make sure the kids will try anything foodwise. Out of eight, we only have one who can be a bit reticent about really hot curries, and the smallest one does not do bland. Other than that, they give anything a go. A moving description in “The Clay Marble” of boiled rice with dried fish fried in chillies and garlic inspired tonight’s dinner menu (although we had the luxury not afforded to Cambodians in a refugee camp of supplementing ours with some Chinese Cabbage, which is growing prolifically in the garden). The little two potential-fusspots hoed in and came back for seconds and thirds. Tick. Tick.
