Time got away from me, hence no post for yesterday. School is finished for another year and Katie said she is not looking forward to going into Year 4 as it is harder work. Her new teacher will be Mrs George. She got a great report for her Year 3 and we are so proud of her.
After picking Katie up we went back into the city and did some more Christmas shopping. A lot of activities were held in the Mall and one in particular that she was interested in was the various groups of Hip Hop dancers. I must say they were very good.
This morning we headed off to the Plaza (somehow I convinced her that Father Christmas needed to know her head size for a helmet in case he brought her a new scooter). We decided to try our luck again at going back into the hills and getting some cherries. Voila! it was our lucky day. Both of our favourite places had cherries, admittedly limited supplies, but we got some never the less.
The cherry growers have really suffered this year. They have lost a lot of cherries, especially the early varieties, due to the cooler weather, the humidity and rain. They need the warmer weather to ripen them........Monday and Tuesday look good for this but then it is back to rain again Wednesday. Ugh who'd be a farmer!!!
In the evening we went and took Katie to the Riverbank Christmas display at the Brewery. Left the car at Tony's work and caught the tram to the Entertainment Centre. Personally, I think the display is looking a bit tired and dated. It needs to be updated with different attractions, but the kids love it and that's who it is for.
