  5. Had a lovely day out with Miss 7 & Miss 14 granddaughters today. I have only been to Corowa a few times over the 33yrs I’ve lived on the border. So most things were new to me too. Not a big town with around 5,600 population but they also border the even smaller town of Wahgunyah.
    We walked the Main Street which is actually Sanger St 😂 & we found all 3 op shops. Miss 7 loves her soft toys & chose a blue swimming turtle, miss 14 found some headphones & I found a lovely jumper. We did visit Dimmys as recommended, not exactly our cup of tea as regards merchandise, although some things were ok, but the building it is in is an old theatre & really has that smell of an old theatre. Even the old drop curtain is still there where the stage once was. I let the girls choose their cafe of choice & unsurprisingly it was the bakery, simple food done well with hot chocolate for them & coffee for me. Then they both chose a sweet treat to take to the park. All in all it was a fun day & the “I love you lots grandma” had me with an awww 🥰🥲 I love you too moment. #DayOut #SchoolHolidays #Granddaughters. #GoodDay

  7. "Vacation must remain a vacation!" ️ The Kerala Government has officially banned unauthorised summer classes and related fee collections across all schools. While special academic support continues for specific students, the Minister has made it clear: no extra classes without state approval. english.mathrubhumi.com/news/k #KeralaEducation #SchoolHolidays #SummerVacation #EducationNews

  8. It’s already the Easter School Holidays, and after the all to brief respite of the last day of school (a full day which was a small mercy), this evening is proving… draining.

    And I can’t blame the children being on a sugar high as they’ve not started on their Easter chocolate yet… just over two weeks to endure, I’ll be counting the days! #parenting #SchoolHolidays

  10. Parking on biodiversity while racing to the beach

    "There are concerns extra people and cars are putting pressure on the natural environment...If we're not careful overtourism will actually destroy the character, the amenity, the natural environment, the beauty of the area that we've got to sell."

    "We don't want damage to the vegetation.There's also increased risk of fire from starting underneath their vehicles so please park in the designated areas."

  14. In an upside down world

    this masked lapwing couple (Vanellus miles)
    was chased away by joggers at the beach repeatedly.

    Feeding sooty oystercatchers (Haematopus fuliginosus)
    had to vacate the coastline to make way for footballs.

    No one seemed take notice of the native wildlife or was willing to 'Share the Shore' in this 'more-than-human world.'
