Camerons First Day

Today was Cameron's first day at Yorkeys Knob State School. I am not sure who was more nervous Tish or myself - it certainly wasn't Cameron who was champing at the bit to go!
In true Funnell style not everything went according to plan as we had been unable to get his uniform prior to starting term. The one day that the school was open to buy uniforms was the worst day of ex TC Oswald and so we chickened out of walking down to place our order.
Instead I have ordered his uniform today and will collect it on Thursday, in the mean time he is wearing one of Hamish's shirts. It is I accept a tad large for him but hey...

On arrival at school I got a perfunctory kiss and wave from Cameron as he was far more interested in the new toys he could see in his class room!
At 3pm I was greeted by his beaming if slightly flushed face and the walk home was taken up with tales of his and Xanthe and Hamish's exploits during the day. All in all everyone seemed pleased to be back!
On arriving home the temperature was a stinking 39 degrees [feeling closer to 42] and Tish, having got some sleep prior to the first of many night shifts this month, was up so we decided to head off to the lagoon to cool off...

This large saltwater pool is right on the esplanade.

with some superb mudflats just the other side of the wall - I did not take the bins though.
Cameron likes diving off the edge although he does sometimes threaten to dive the wrong way...

The pool is dominated by some "peeing fish"

and is a favorite of ours for relaxing in the afternoon.
