A Kiss from Dumbo
19 November 2018
Today we went walking with the elephants (and an armed guard) through the grasslands of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. After our perambulations we enjoyed a picnic lunch in company with the elephants one of whom gave me a KISS.

A Private Picnic
Goodies from Marks and Spencer made a welcome picnic dinner in my hotel room tonight.

After a long flight and a day out in London I just didn't feel like going down to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

Grandparents' Day
The excitement of a five year old as he proudly shows examples of his schoolwork made a two hour trip up the freeway to another city worthwhile.
Today Mr Geniaus and I travelled north for grandparents' day at the school three of our grandchildren attend. The eldest grandchild is in the Middle School and we were unable to visit her class due to a clash with the grandparents' picnic at the Junior School Campus.
It was a glorious, sunny winter's day so conditions for a picnic were perfect. As we sat around chatting before the children joined us I mentioned to my daughter that it didn't look like a school playground, it resembled a senior citizen's convention. As the children came tumbling out of their classrooms the playground became alive. We had a great time talking with children's parents, filling empty small stomachs and watching the kids at play with their mates.
Classroom visits were on the agenda after lunch. In the 4th grade classroom we helped our grandson work on an assignment on cockroaches. I learnt a few new facts including that cockroaches can live for a week without a head.

In the kindergarten room I looked at the stories written by our five year old, played Word Bingo with some other children and grandparents and looked at work samples.
