I had my second Thermomix demonstration this morning. It was a decent drive from home away, and in my thoroughness to be properly prepared, I somehow managed to misjudge the time and arrived an hour earlier than I needed to. Oops.

It was good to have the additional time up my sleeves though, and I was happy with how the demonstration went, and it left me with a comfortable amount of time to get to Kindergarten to pick Zoe up. It did completely wipe out the day though.

Zoe wanted to watch Megan's tennis class, so I left her with Jason while I popped home to get changed, and then came back in time for the conclusion of tennis class.

Zoe wanted Megan to come over for a play date, so I took Megan back to our place, and the girls had a great afternoon on the balcony doing some self-directed craft. I used the time to play catch up and make a bunch of phone calls.

It wasn't until after Sarah picked up Zoe that I realised I'd barely interacted with her all afternoon though, which was a bit of a shame. I'll be happy once this sausage sizzle on Saturday is done, and the pace of life should slow down a bit more again.

It was a bit of a struggle to force myself to go to yoga class tonight, but I'm glad I did, because it was a really great class.

Zoe's Kindergarten has scored the fundraising sausage sizzle rights to the local Councillor's next Movies in the Park event. Since I've been the chairperson of the PAG, which doesn't seem to actually involve much other than being cheerleader in chief and chairing monthly meetings, I thought I'd lend the fundraising committee a hand with the organising of this event. The fundraising committee have worked their butts off this year.

After I dropped Zoe at Kindergarten, I want to the home of one of the committee members and met with the committee to discuss logistics for the upcoming sausage sizzle. I'd previously volunteered to try and get a donation of sausages from a local butcher, but hadn't had a chance to do that yet.

After taking a bus into the city and back for a lunch meeting, and picking up Zoe from Kindergarten afterwards, we set out on a tour of all the local supermarkets and butchers, with an official letter in hand from the Kindergarten.

We were unlucky on all fronts, but Zoe did score a free cheerio at one butcher, so she was pretty happy. Driving all over the place ate up most of the afternoon.

Anshu dropped in after work not long after we got home, and then Sarah arrived not long after that to pick up Zoe.
