Nonno has done such a fantastic job of looking after my
plants while we’ve been travelling, it felt nice to be able to do something for
him. Digging the holes to plant the fruit trees were hard work, so much so that
I ended up putting down the tools to go for lunch. All that hard work had made
us ravenous. After a quick bite to eat I went for a swim in Nonno’s pool while
Jamie kept digging the holes. Poppy paTROLL was perfect for getting a bit of
dirt and mulch for the new garden bed. Once the plants were planted Nonno
wanted a few more tree branches trimmed off his other tree, we squeezed them
into the top of the skip before calling it a day.
We had organised for Little miss to have a play with her
second cousin again. They got along so well in Lake Tabourie and when they
visited Nanna’s house. Little miss was super excited to go and visit. There was
the most amazing playground by the train station. It was really well set up and
the kids had a great time running around playing together. We had fairy cakes
for morning tea and the most delicious bread rolls for lunch. It was such a
great day. By the time we got back it was dinner time.
We made the trip to Coffs Harbour, for little miss to start
preschool. Our originally plan was to already be in Coffs Harbour but with life,
you have to be flexible. While little miss was at PRESCHOOL I got to have a bit
of Mummy time. After a little shopping I headed back to BONVILLE HEADLANDS, it
was nice standing at the top looking down at the water. It’s funny how
different it felt 6 months later. The water was very brown, probably from all
the rain that they’ve had. There were even some dolphins swimming of the headland.
We headed back to Sydney the next day, leaving a little early from preschool to make the drive back not too late. About half an hour out from Nanna’s house little miss said she wanted to have a little nap but she ended up chatting until we made back to Nanna’s. She fell asleep so quickly that night. It was a long drive back and I was just as tired as she was. I’m not used to all this driving business, the last six months I’ve enjoyed being chauffeured around by Jamie.
We went to visit Nonno, and little miss had a lovely time
creating craft projects with the new craft box I put together for her. She was
so quiet playing for ages with her craft box and creating so many beautiful
things. After we packed away the craft box she went to play with the toy box in
the lounge room while we sorted out what we wanted to pack into the new caravan.
After realising that she was quiet and a quiet kid is a dangerous kid. When I
went looking for her I found her curled up on the lounge under a quilt fast
asleep.
After heading back to nanna’s house, we quickly realised
little miss was under the weather and needed a trip to the ED. One problem I
have with the pandemic, is that if you have a temperature the doctors surgeries
won’t allow you into the surgery. So we have no choice but to head to the ED
for treatment and another Covid 19 test. The lucky part is that the test
results came back 8 and a half hours later, so we didn’t have to self isolate
for long, we spent most of the time sleeping.
A few doses of antibiotics later and she’s back to her usual
self. Now that she was feeling better it gave me the opportunity to have some
much needed Mummy time and bond with my sister in law. What better way than to
go plant shopping. The funny part about going plant shopping and travelling
full time is that you can’t buy any plants. But I also didn’t want to buy anything.
Looking around the shop was lovely, and it was great spending time with my
sister in law but as a plant loving person I was surprised I didn’t feel the
urge to buy anything.
The other positive of me having time to myself, means that Jamie
and little miss get to spend some quality time together.
