hello there

Lately I've really missed being able to dedicate some of my time to blogging. I've simply been too busy! I know it isn't a great reason to have been kept away but other things have needed my focus and attention.

The most pressing of which have been two uni assessments which were due for submission on Friday. A learning log worth 10% and an essay worth 15%. I spent literally hours, many late nights and lots of coffees working on these. Maybe it's because this is my first semester back at uni after a very long 18 years but I'm finding getting but into the study routine and mindset is taking me a little while to get used to again. Possibly longer than I had anticipated. I'm also finding the unit is a little intense with its philosophy content but I am enjoying the challenge and am eagerly awaiting my results.


Good Friday we continued with what has become a family tradition, we enjoyed a lovely day out at the Cadbury Easter Egg Hunt at Werribee Park. All proceeds from the day go to the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Collectively the boys gathered in excess of 250 small solid eggs. Just in case you are wondering, they definitely don't eat them all! Much to their disappoint I'm sure. We share them amongst family and friends. The enjoyment is in the collecting, the anticipation of how many eggs they'll manage to collect. The event has become a nice way to enjoy family time on Good Friday and in doing so we are supporting charity.


Best wishes to you all for a very Happy Easter.

  3. Wow - 250 eggs!!! Dedicated hunters those lads. Congratulations on returning to uni - I returned to Uni eight years after leaving school and it was tough getting back into the swing of learning and studying. But when you hit your stride it's magical because you've got so much more knowledge than a school leaver {which will be perfect for the philosophy content!}

  7. That is a lot of eggs!

    I've been studying part time via distance for about six years now and I still don't have a routine. Keep at it - it sounds like you're doing really well. I found out today that I passed the last subject I did, when I was absolutely convinced I was going to fail, so don't be too hard on yourself. xx
