short holiday, and other tidbits

I  spent the Australia Day weekend down at Philip Island with my family. (Well, not quite all of them. Dad was in Canberra shooting.)

My nephews are just wonderful! We read stories, made sandcastles, learned how to say "radio" (well, Alex did), and practised walking (Caleb).
I think I could happily spend ten years in a room with the two of them, and I'd never get bored (hungry, maybe...).

In other Philip Islandyness, I read through Harry Potter #7 again, played Kill Doctor Lucky, and bought a doll as a future investment for when someone I know has a daughter of the appropriate age.

Very glad I got comprehensive insurance for my car - I reversed into someone, coming out of my driveway. It was about the most minor accident that could still be called an accident, but I still have to pay excess.

Play rehearsals resumed last Thursday, and are three times a week from now on. I'm frantically trying to learn my lines, with some success...
