A normal day in the schoolroom......


We are experiencing a wet winter so it is rather nice to be tied up in the schoolroom. Term 3 already, the year is flying and my children are growing up ever so quickly.

We are having our usual computer and internet glitches, part of a weekly occurence when one many is are relying on a system that sometimes doesn't meet the needs of the user/s. One thing these boys are good at is troubleshooting......"Mum" internet is slow, "Mum" internet has dropped out, again!
My response is, "write it on a piece of paper."

The older generations need not fear, in this digital age they still know what paper is, I have a recycling pile to prove it (Yes we recycle in the bush too!).

These boys of course are better with the computers than me. Eldest child is quite handy in solving my java issues (my current glitch). Perhaps I will put him on to Telstra technical assistance next time we have a drop out. The last tech support officer asked me what I teach, I said "everything", I don't think he knew what "everything" was!


Oldest child is immersed in fractions, whilst the youngest member is learning about procedures.


Teleteaching lessons are daily, they get to talk to their teachers and be a part of their class. They both look forward to the contact with other people.

We are grateful for the good days, blessed with the occasional excellent day and reminisce about those days when we have the odd shocker. What did Forrest Gump say, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get!"
