A quick update

Thought it has been sometime since l gave an update on us and how we are feeling.
Hunter and Ewan are enjoying school ,though there are times still that they get sick of it, especially the small playground, and difficulty playing sport. There are a couple of difficult kids, and there is always the issue of language that upsets Hunter. Ewan is much better speaking and understanding Italian, but Hunter is slowly improving, they have a tutor once a week, who they enjoy. They both play calcio (soccer) every weekend, and really enjoy the matches, mostly they are at their home ground (Bologna football club) Hunter is mostly in the backline, though with his speed he is put on the wing, it is just that most kids want to be in the forward to get goals. And that is the problem most kids just hog the ball and go for some ridiculous glory goal, and miss. Ewan is sometimes wing or centre forward, he has a natural ability to get himself in the right position to tap in goals. But Hunter has more the natural ability of the play of the game and l guess is rather reliable in the back line. The team lineup changes each week, as there are three teams, the boys play in team B,C, as their level is not A, and the coach keeps them together to save us driving to two different places. They may well do a summer soccer camp which l think will help them get to know and be known by the other kids better.
Homework is a choir, the boys strangely don't like doing it, Jayne and l have gone mad trying to help or push them along, and finally have said don't worry to ourselves, what happens happens, They will quickly find out as they get into trouble for not doing it, or doing it badly. We may have been too helpful and they need to do these things on their own a bit more.
Jayne is busy having Italian conversation meetings with seemingly half of Bologna, and a class once a week, so her Italian only gets better and better. She has been talking about doing some singing class's, l hope she does, as l think she would really enjoy it, and feel a self confidence.
I am on a roll in the studio, working on a large series for the Wangarratta show, my mind is in a good place. Have been going to the tennis club gym every day nearly and doing a 1/2 hour workout. Keeps me fit and my mind active, and a quick break form the studio, to stop the RSI from doing woodcuts.
Recently l was riding up to the art shop and saw the local police parked in a Lambourghini, when you see police with these cars, you just love the idea of a police state. It took the officer a while to get out of the seat, but he looked great in his designer uniform. I really think we could improve the Victorian police uniform, with just some more tapered pants, fitted shirts and a german like hat!
