Winter on the way!

Where did May go? Today is the last day of autumn but guess what?  Winter has started in some states of the country. Canberra had night temperatures in the early minus digits. Glad I don't live there!  The cold weather isn't my best friend!  Do you prefer winter or summer? We are forecast to have cold nights for afew days this week.  Supposedly make a trip to Toowoomba this weekend and going by the weather bureau it will be cold at night.  Better make sure I really pack winter clothing. 

This month all I done is study and more study. I have completed three assessment pieces. Yesterday I finished off all the professional courses online.  Wish I had known about this years ago!  But it was probably not even existed when I needed it. This course was about Raising Good Kids with Dr Kaylene Henderson. She is a medical health specialist based in Australia.  For any followers/readers who are Educators in children's services, Teachers in schools or new parents, I strongly recommend to check out her website. https://drkaylenehenderson.com/ The three courses are for Educators and parents who need to learn and understand more about child's behavioural strategies. I don't know how much the courses for outsiders but I was studying it because it was one of the subject requirements for my course study. I still have another online training course to do. There are eight modules to study! But this one will involved Early Years Connect.

My youngest daughter is currently in Brisbane for only this week. I managed to see her on Monday night at the bowling alley.  Plans to catch up again tonight at a different centre.  Because she is one of the bridesmaids in her sister's wedding the bridesmaids will have their dress fitting this weekend.

Better go and get some study done this afternoon. I lost my morning as I had issues trying to logged on to a particular website  I had to end up visiting the service in person.
Depending on which hemisphere you are from, have a good winter/summer!

April report

Hello May!  Its now the last month of Autumn but I wouldn't say SE QLD really shows signs of autumn as we had warm days and evenings still.  Only in the past few days I have noticed the changes.  Also I noticed our daylight hours changed.  I am generally up at around 6am and the sun is starting to rise.  In the evenings it is dark before 6pm.

The Gold Coast had their Commonwealth Games in early April. I didn't go to any live events. It's cheaper to stay home to watch any event and don't have to worry about public transport.  The opening ceremony was good but it was abit of a disappointed with the closing ceremony.  They didn't show the competitors coming into the ceremony like they normally do. Did other countries showed the Commonwealth Games on TV?

I have been house/animal sitting for my friend for the past two weeks.  I will return home tomorrow.  It was nice to have abit of holiday from home life.  Secondly I didn't have far to travel for college either. 

I only attended two craft workshops in April. I was doing some scrapbooking. There is no workshops scheduled for this month but I hope to have a day crafting at a friend's house in two weeks time. I hope to get back into wedding invites as I haven't done any updates for a while. The wedding is held next year but the bride wants me to get them by November.  You can't rush these things!

I have been attending college for the past three weeks.  Its have been quite full on as we work on a module per day.  Also we are required to do two online course training.  So far I have completed two class modules and one online module. Still got a lot to do!  I have an assessment due on Tuesday.  I am thankful this weekend is a long weekend.  Monday is a public holiday "KNOWN AS LABOUR DAY". Only ten days we had a public holiday "Anzac Day" in Australia and New Zealand. I spend that day studying as much as I could. 

Speaking of studying I better get back to it as I have night plans later on.  Have a good weekend!
