To all my teacher friends.........

I too am up to my eyeballs in report cards-seems a bit strange in a way. Winter is indeed upon us here in Adelaide. Yesterday was the coldest day so far at 14.3. Brr. It's the lack of central heat and dampness that is the problem. I have actually had socks on for an entire week! As your school year comes to a close I will be envious of your long summer holiday. Think of me and raise a glass on Canada Day. I will be thinking of you all........

I have discovered a new thing. Bed socks. Warm woolies that you wear to bed if you don't have a personal foot warmer. You all know how much I LOVE wearing socks but I thought I would give this a try. I am also wearing the beautiful and warm CANADA hoodie my daughter brought me to bed. I am a vision of loveliness at bedtime. Tee hee. Almost as lovely as my flannel jamies back home that I wish I had brought with me. I often go outside at lunchtime to sit in the sun and thaw. I really must have a warm heart as I always seem to have to cold hands these days. My new leggings are working great for the bike ride to work. I feel a winter solstice party coming on soon.

OK this is NOT getting my report cards done. Thanks for helping distract me Yvonne. Congrats on your gr 5 next year too! Happy summer everyone!!!!!
G'day eh!
love and miss you,
Bern

PS Jane I can picture your new yard too! Great job on getting all the inside stuff done. Now you will be bale to enjoy the ourdoor time. BTW I will update the quilt pics as soon as I get some more done on it. Now a days I am too tired and cold from school. Besides I have that new addicition-Masterchef Australia.

    Hey Bern! It was great to talk with you this morning/night (depending on where you were during the conversation!) I am all inspired now to head down to my new quilt studio and DO these Friendship blocks for the round robin. I will send you a picture when I am done!
    I'm glad to hear that you are going on a field trip - that will be fun!! Have a great time. I'll talk with you soon!
    Love you!
    Jane
