Tea for me!!

I have spent most of the day helping Mr FH to wean lambs from their mums. I hate doing this and hearing the lambs calling for their mum is so sad. After we weaned them we walked 640 ewes the 12 kms along the main road from one farm to another. This takes quite some time, as you can imagine. Luckily today we only had one car come along but sometimes it could be up to 20 cars!!! After we finished this I drove our farm ute and loaded it with some wood as we will still be having cold weather for a while yet. Finally, when I had finished that I came home and set a small tray just for me. The house was quite gloomy as it was such a cloudy day so you can see I have the lamp on. This spreads such a lovely light on the tea tray. I had some gardening books I wanted to have a look through so I used my pretty floral mug and a pansy tray and matching napkin. Just right for tea for me!!

Library Luncheon

On Tuesday I invited librarians from neighbouring schools to come to our school for a networking day. We started with an early coffee and chat then I had arranged for a local self-published bush poet to come and share his poetry with us. He also talked to us about the ups and downs of publishing your own book. Very interesting!! Why is it that there is always someone ready to take advantage of you?? Thankfully the story ended well.
After morning tea our guest speaker had fun writing poetry with our students. I had prepared a power point presentation of my library displays from over the years and explained to my colleagues just how I had made them. Another librarian had also prepared a presentation which she shared with us all. It was such an inspiring day.
Lunchtime arrived and as my favourite thing to do is set a table I did just that. I received so many wonderful comments from the girls. I had covered books with black and white paper for a display at the giftshop so they seemed perfect for a library lunch. Everything else I had either at home or at the beach house. It was a very simple lunch with finger food and I had made individual desserts for everyone. Such a great day!
