Busy doing EVERYTHING

We are having a completely amazing and fabulous time in our new St Helena life. There is so much to do and so many lovely people to do it with. The trouble is, we are doing just a teansy bit too much of it. We are definately burning the candle at both ends and sometimes in the middle too. This week we have car boot visiting, swimming, snorkling, world thinking day, party, friends to play, scuba dive lessons, flax weaving, football, rainbows, scuba dive taster, PTA meeting, craft evening, massage, tea out, plus school, work, shopping, washing, cooking, playing, blogging and everything else.


I wouldn't want you to think I am complaining. Quite the contrary. I just need to get a bit better at managing the stuff I have to do as well as the stuff I want to do. And maybe a bit better at saying No!


The trouble is, I don't want to finish our two years in this amazing place wishing I has done something or been somewhere because it really is a once-in-a-liftime place.



See, I spent my only 'free' evening making a flax hat because someone said it took two years to be good enough to make a hat. It's not perfect, but it is a hat. Now of course I want to have another go and make a better hat!
