i was never a fan of swimming carnival either, but that's really nice that they've got other activities for D to participate in! i reckon swimming carnivals should have more water games rather than making it all a competition @Bow 

that must be so rewarding to see and be involved in groot's growth. he's sooo lucky to have you!

oh woah that's so cool!! what are the chances of finding 7!? that's a lot right? i'm not too sure how common or uncommon alice in wonderland books are. are you a big reader? ooo some fluffy teddy bears!! hope the kitties are enjoy them

Oh I hated swimming carnival when I was in school @rav3n  i wasn’t a strong swimmer either and it was compulsory to attend. 

Yeah I was pretty surprised at finding 7 of them. It’s not really a common title. But there are hundreds of different versions of it. I have 58 in total now. I have a few really old versions and I bought 15 back from our overseas holiday. I sat and made a list of all the ones I have so I don’t get doubles. Came across an Alice through the looking glass book shop in london. So many books and very very old…. And expensive! 

Not a big reader. Wish I was. Are you?

yep had the same compulsory attendance rule in my school too ugh!! i was just glad that my friends weren't strong swimmers too, complaining about it together helped hehe @Bow 

58!? that's amazing! what made you start collecting Alice in Wonderland specifically? do you collect other books too? love checking out bookstores, there's such a cosy peaceful vibe about it!

i wish i was too. back in primary school i was, and then i went through a short book phase in uni. my new year's resolution was to read more... so we'll see if i can finish some this time!!

I much preferred athletics carnival and cross country @rav3n 

nah just these books. There are some really nice ones. I love book shops too. Could browse them for hours. D and I recently went into Sydney and went to the big dymocks book store. 4 stores. And then we also found a couple of other book shops that were pretty big too. Thankfully D loves to read and is happy to browse…. But not for long. 

I have a book I’d like to read. And often think about reading it instead on sitting and scrolling and watching tv. But I always end up doing the later

@Bow i enjoy athletics carnival too! can't say the same about cross country hahah running is not my thing. are you runner?

OH!! that makes so much sense!! - also i'm just going to edit that part out incase other people catch on 😆

ooo the sydney one sounds so nice, i need to check it out next time i visit. i've seen images of massive bookstores in europe... i wanna find them and just spend a whole day exploring those ones! haha the short attention span for reading is so real. i think that's why i prefer audiobooks (but even then i zone out). 

what books is it?? 

also i'll be heading off soon for tonight, please don't hesitate to reach out to the community or crisis services for support. take care 💜
