Of road trips and tours

…so driving to the neighbouring city of saints, watching the girl play hours of polo, driving her home for her mock ballet exam and back again to continue playing hours of polo was my weekend.

The polo was good. The coaches are trying to get their team established for next year, so Thandi and her friend M who usually play for the /13A’s headed the /13B team of mainly grade 6’s. IT was a great confidence boost for her, and she worked hard, had fun, scored some goals and generally had a great time on tour. They played 8 games, won 5, lost 3, gained tons of experience.

On Saturday afternoon I had to get Thandi back for her mock ballet exam; yes, you read that right mock. But, one does not mess or argue with ballet teachers. And after the instruction of, ‘If your daughter does not do the mock exam, she will not be allowed to do her actual exam’, one tends to comply. Anyway, that went well, apparently. The actual exam is coming up on Saturday. Let’s hope she will have her head in the game and all will go smoothly.

The weeks ahead are starting to get really really busy. My head spins ever so slightly, but I think for now I am keeping my balance. Next commitment – the Grade 7 farewell tea on Saturday. I am just a worker this time, thankfully! But do still have some decor items to sort out. Let’s make it happen!
