A big pussycat!

So...the school day had not yet started yesterday when a girl came up to me and said "Rachel wants her normal teacher today". Standing next to her was little Rachel looking very sheepish."Well, unfortunately," I said, "that is not possible because your teacher is away today and she will be away on Monday too so I am your teacher today and on Monday too, but don't worry, I'm quite nice, I am just a big pussycat..." I paused slightly, then roared "... LIKE A LION!"Little Rachel jumped out of her skin but then laughed nervously.At the end of the day as I was about to send them all home I said "So Rachel are you still feeling worried like this morning?""Yes," she said looking serious."Really?" I asked. She nodded again.I sent them off saying "Have a good weekend and see you on Monday."I was sat by the whiteboard when Rachel came up."I was joking," she said and she threw her arms around me and gave me a hug.

Still, still in the box!

So...Little Miss Galore is still sleeping during the day in the possum box. We are seeing less of her, as we no longer hear here dropping onto the roof from her old sleeping quarters, but we pop the odd treat into her box while she is resting or as a surprise when she gets home from her nocturnal activities. It is good that life has settled down into this less stressful arrangement...although I can feel a little stress coming on as tomorrow I am back in school for the first time in ages!

Still in the box!

So...we are back from Brisbane and have returned to find our possum still in her box. With us being away for two nights we wondered what mischief she might have got up to while we were away but it seems she has settled into her new home... finally.

Birthday get-together.

So...we are in Brisbane to celebrate Will's sister, Wendy's birthday. It was a lovely day catching up together.

Where she should be.
