An Update on our busy lives

15th Feb 2009 by Gabbie

Happy New Year everyone I know it is February but I just don't know where the time has gone.We are now back at school and we have a very cool teacher,there are only 21 in our class which is great the teacher is from Canada and is very enthusiastic and makes learning so much fun!

We had our school swimming carnival and both Anna and I got through to the next level but we didn't do too well because it was pouring with rain and cold- so cold in fact mum had to nip out of the swim meet and get us some fleeces !!!!

Now we are back at school we are busy with our Tennis -we do betwenn 7 and 8 hours a week and then we swim over 12 hours a week and now TODAY we are starting waterpolo for 10 weeks which we are really excited about alot of our friends from swimming do it at school and it sounds great so we will see.

Today mum is at work and Dad is going to take us to see the Veronica sisters who are at a nearby shopping mall -they actually come from Brisbane and apparently live or their family lives in cashmere on a big plot !

So thats about it I think can't think of much else that is going on apart from the fact that we are now coming to England in July and I hope we can catch up with everyone when we do .I hope it won't be as mad as last time it was so crazy but great fun really.Hope you have all recovered from the snow we are having some very strange weather it rained in Brisbane for 2 days and now its lovely and sunny,which is just as well as our Friends Brooke and Amber arrive todya from the U.K and wanted it to be hot hot hot .Miss you all and look forward to seeing you all.

Ps we are doing some fund raising at school for the fire victims in Melbourne ,one of our friends Steph ,her family are from around that area and I think she said they are all ok but have lost their houses it really is terrible. Dad keep's watching the news -trouble is its the same thing everytime. Did you get to see the fireman who gave the Koala a drink it was so cute.

We haven't seen any Koala's around our land for a bit.
