This week has been mostly about history. The family and the world. So I have been putting the information on my family tree and there only a couple of missing pieces. And I have found out some interesting things. Next week I will share some of the stories. I also have been making a GIANT timeline with information about the big news in the last 100 years. So far I have been reading about World War I and our family connections to that.
The garden is EXPLODING! we are going to plant peanuts and watermelons this weekend. The strawberries are pink and Bam keeps sniffing them. But the nets should keep her out!
On Friday I went to Wellington and went to the museum at the harbourboard. My grandad used to work at the harbour and so we found out lots about the place. He also worked on the salvage of the Wahine (it was a ferry that ran onto a reef in the harbour during a storm in 1968. 51 people died. My dad was born 2 weeks later.) More history TEHEHE.
IMPORTANT NEWS FLASH: it is my birthday on MONDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have a good time pipl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like it was a busy week...hope you didn't get too mouldy going back through all those historical facts. I am jealous about your garden. I planted some bulbs but now have to wait FOREVER to see their pretty flowers.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you!! Might need to look at tightening the nets over the strawberries cos Bam got the first 4 ripe ones!!! Glad you loved the maritime museum. Wonder what Grandad would say about his grandson sitting in the big seat?
