xenithAgreed to look after the kids today. They're not bad kids most of the time, until they get Bored Apparently when you are Bored, you have two options, you can Watch TV or you can Hit Your Brother. The problem with school holidays is a lack of daytime TV for kids.
Today though, we took the bus into town and Did Things. We started at the city park, where they have this rather weird Tiger Dragon spiraling art-tile path near the playground, and the walked down to the other end to look at the Monkeys of Doom. They were rather dull as Monkeys of Doom go though, just sitting around picking fleas out of their fur, except for one who was doing something weird with a large boulder. I guess the boulder was lonely.
Then we went across the road to the shop on the corner to buy lunch, They have nice rolls and things in here, and pies too. Of course, they had nothing Kid2 would eat. He won't eat salad rolls, too much weird stuff. He won't eat ham so the simple ham & plastic cheese in white bread sandwiches was out. He won't eat eggs. He won't eat a chicken & mayo roll even after I offered to lick the mayonnaise off. He'd eat hot chips but they didn't have any. He ended up with a packet of 4 mixed sandwiches, of which I took the ham one and his sister took the egg. After we'd paid for this and taken it back to the park and I'd unwrapped it, we found the remaining two sandwiches had "yellow stuff" on them, from the eggs. I picked it off. "But there's yellow stuff on the chicken? What is that yellow stuff?" "It's a chicken, it came out of an egg, of course it has yellow stuff on it."
After this we walked down to the Phenomena Factory at the QVMAG. This is one of those hands-on sciences things for kids, which is very much fun and if you happen to be visiting Launceston, with or without kids, it's dropping by to check out (especially as it's free). Part of it is inside, just off the main foyer area and part of it is outside, and kids tend to run wild so during the school holidays and when school groups visits, the idea of a museum being a Quiet Place gets blown to pieces.
From there we walked back into the city for the highly anticipated final part of trips, the visit to EB Games to buy a computer game!! I got Zoo Tycoon Complete Edition for myself though.
Then we took the bus home, although we got off early to visit the big op shop to pick up another VCR. But they didn't have ANY :(
