Just catching up

We're having a bit of a quiet weekend - well, kind of. Nothing earth shattering to report, but lots of stuff going on as usual.
Ian is doing a First Aid course for Scouts this weekend. He came back about 4pm today, earlier than I'd expected. He had a deep red mark along the bottom of his lip - like he'd been in the wind licking his lips all day. Said it came from doing the mouth-to-mouth thing with the dummy wrongly!!! Then had the cheek to contradict me when we were discussing the breathe/chest compression ratios later on when Iain Hosking turned up. He's to go back tomorrow too.
Jamie is away tomorrow with the Venturer Scouts. They are going to be building a raft.
Robbie meanwhile is going to Bushfire Brigade training. His BF assessment day is the first Saturday in December and he has to get 20 hrs or so training under his belt before then.
I'll be at home with Ishbel. I've got a copy of The Railway Children on DVD from the library so perhaps we'll get around to watching that. There are markets on down at Richmond which I fancy having a look at but we'll have to be back about midday to get Robbie after training.
We've had rain all week but it's been clearer today (cloudy but no rain) and tomorrow is supposed to improve further so I'm hoping to get some washing out on the line. I don't know how I can stand the excitement!
I was at RFB training last weekend. The boys preferred a lie-in. It started out cloudy but fined up to a beautiful blue sky which was just as well given what happened later in the morning. We went down to the National Park at Glenbrook to a little dam (pond) there and practised drafting water into the truck. As the truck was already full however, we also had to get the hoses out and let some water out. It got a bit boring and was too much for Bec who started a water fight. Great fun! I could hardly breath for laughing and wincing at the cold water at the same time. The sunshine dried us out relatively quickly though as we got the generator going, boiled the kettle and made a cuppa.
