Saturday morning The weather on Saturday was very mild. I had a very good, but very busy, Saturday. First of all on Saturday morning we had breakfast on the deck because it was very sunny. Then after breakfast I went to the Tasmanian Plant Nursery to buy some waratahs. Later I went into the city with my daughter and my husband to do some shopping. My daughter wanted to buy some swimmers and some shoes. She found some swimmers but she didn’t find any shoes. It was a good shopping expedition but we were very tired when We finished so we went to a café for coffee.

__ Rivulet walk __ Last Wednesday our class went for a walk. We were very lucky because it was a sunny day and it didn’t rain. Jack and Anna came with us. We left the Polytechnic at 10 o’clock and walked through town as far as Molle Street. We crossed Molle Street and then we could see the Hobart rivulet on our left. We walked along the Rivulet track for a while and we saw some ducks but we didn’t see any ducklings. Soon we stopped for morning tea in a picnic area. After morning tea we walked a bit further and stopped to play some games on the grass. We saw some beautiful trees and lots of flowers. Jack took lots of photos.

We were a bit tired after all our walking so we caught a bus back to town but Le Za, Lijun and Li wanted to walk back. We had a really lovely morning.

__ At the hardware store __ On Saturday morning I decided to do someg ardening because it was a beautiful day. First I went to the hardware store to buy some things for the garden. I drove to the store but it was very busy so I had to park a long way from the store. At the door I met Gary and had a chat with him. He had to buy some bird netting because the blackbirds were digging up the seedlings in his vegetable garden. Then I went into the store to do my shopping. There were lots of people in the store so I had to stand in a long queue at the checkout.

When I finished my shopping I went home to work in the garden. It was very warm and sunny and I had a lovely day but I was very tired when I finished my gardening.

It was a beautiful day so Nimet and Ali decided to take their children to the beach. Suddenly the car stopped because it ran out of petrol. Ali stopped a car and asked the driver to give him a lift to the petrol station. Ali came back with a tin of petrol and put it in the tank. They all got back in the car and kept going to the beach. They arrived at the beach but it started to rain so they were very disappointed.

__ Waterfront Walk __ Last Tuesday our class went for a walk along the Waterfront to Princes Park. We left the Polytechnic at 10 o’clock and walked down to Hunter Street to look at the fishing boats. Then we looked at the statues of huskies, seals and penguins. It was cold, wet and windy so we had some hot chips to warm us up. Then we walked along Castray Esplanade and saw a big French ship. We kept going and went into Princes Park but it was too cold and wet to stop for morning tea so we walked on to Battery Point and looked at all the beautiful flowers. We then walked through Salamanca Place and finished our walk in front of Parliament House. We walked back to the Polytechnic in time for lunch. We were a bit tired and cold but we had a very good walk and Jack took some great photos for our Wiki page.
