As I type this Chauncy, our youngest son aged 15, is in midair on his way to here...Tokyo, Japan. He and his fellow Japanese students will be spending the next 2 weeks in Japan.
Chauncy (Left) and his good mates Zac and Connor.
It is strange to think that tonight he will be sleeping on the 17th floor of a high rise in Downtown Tokyo. My apologies for the light posting during the week but our heads have been a bit elsewhere as I made sure he had all the Tim Tams (fantastic Australian chocolate biscuit for those of you overseas) and small stuffed Koalas as gifts along with all those other odds and ends like camera sticks etc. Lotte (our youngest) is also on a Sony Camp for the disabled and is away till tomorrow....so I only have Frankie to mother...and he is rarely home anyway. So it is very strange indeed.

How exciting for him, Katherine! And how sad to have a nearly empty nest for a while...or not sad if you go out for Sunday drinks...!xx
ReplyDeleteLucky boys! Travelling is such a great learning experience. x
ReplyDeletePoor little motherless soul!!! haha... you'll be lost without the incessant call of 'Mum'!!!... hehe
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous experience for the boys.. Hope they have a wonderful time.. Sure they will.. and Lotte too although she'll be back to give you cuddles tomorrow...
Take care xxx Julie
Bet it's quiet around your place! But what grown-up children ... the one going to Japan looks a little nervous ... I bet he misses you.
ReplyDelete(Is he the one who looks like skinny ladder boy?)
Lotte is a beautiful name.
What a great opportunity for your son going to Japan - it's on my wish list too! If I were you I would enjoy the quiet and put my feet up for a while. Michelle
ReplyDeleteKatherine just enjoy yu time to have for yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt will be harder as they get older as the need for you will become more complicated as you

Hi Katherine. I'm up north at the moment (lovely weather, I know). Today I found about 60 of your Jennifer Hawkins metal chairs in near mint condition....for $2 each! Good investment do you think? I've only bought about 12 so far, but thinking of going back for the rest!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful opportunity for him Katherine!
