Day 186

We had an incredibly eventful work week this week!!

Monday - Thursday was the big test that we've been preparing for.

Thursday was the final day of said test.

Friday was an incredibly lazy day. I very little all day and then went out with some of my group members to buy ice cream and ice cream cones for everybody. It was fun!! And then I came home early.

Saturday, today, was the FPH Kids Fun Day! Jon and I volunteered to help out. Jon worked the barbecue and made sausage sizzles for everybody. I worked at the gift station handing out presents to all of the kids. My boss Jonti helped out with parking and security.

There were rides and bouncy jumps and a climbing wall. There was a petting zoo with goats, puppies, a mini pony, a black sheep and a piggy. I really, really liked the pig and wanted to take it home with me!!

Now I'm exhausted... Goodnight!
