17/365

LAMB: This afternoon was an exercise in thriftiness, an experiment to see what we could do for as little money as possible. We spent a good deal of time at our local RSL. They have a free kids play area, free glasses of chilled water and air-conditioning – a winning combination. When we got home we constructed a makeshift tent from two chairs and an old sheet, which kept you entertained for a good five minutes. I’m ashamed to say, however, that the day ended with you in front of the TV (#371 on the list of things I was never going to let my children do). In the end the only out-of-pocket expense was the petrol required to get us to and from the RSL. All in all I think we did pretty well.

      Sometimes it's a choice between your ideals and your sanity.

      Occasionally we don't have much choice but It feels good anyway. It's amazing how resourceful you can be when you have no other option.
