Hi All,
It's half time in the school kid invasion! Things went pretty well today thanks to Susan and Rebecca who directed operations, ably supported by their band of helpers. I helped by staying out of the way and obeying all commands!
This morning all the beds had to be stripped and left with a bottom sheet and a pillow so the kids could use sleeping bags. Crockery had to be removed from rooms so there was enough for the meal settings. An evening meal was provided (in two sittings)with a pizza entree, main course (lasagna) and dessert to be followed tomorrow by breakfast and a packed lunch. Also tomorrow all rooms are cleaned and we repeat the exercise. Around 40 kids in each group. Teenagers aged circa 14 - 15 so need i say more. They have only managed to break one window so far. An outside one on the end of the verandah. I picked up the pieces and vacuumed the fragments from the tennis court and verandah.
Just as well the wet area is lockable and was locked! I have been taking great care with the water quality and the last thing i need is people using the facilities!
The only other speed hump was all the special dietary requirements, what a mine field. At one stage I was at the supermarket buying dairy free margarine! I didn't know that margarine had dairy but on the label of some was declared "dairy solids"
Anyway as i said it all went pretty well. Worst part about tomorrow is the 700 start.
Night folks
Cheers Simon
