I can't wait for them to come off!
They are heavy, and hot.
And, every time I hear the bath water being run for my sister,
I stop and listen.
I miss the bath!
My cerebral palsy was hurting me tonight, and I was crying.
That's hard for my Mum and Dad, because they can't do much to help me.
And, with my casts, we can't even have a proper cuddle.
Never mind. They'll be off soon.

The local fibre glass cow is painted purple.
Hopefully, everyone will be in the street,
wearing purple shirts and getting excited about Relay!
There might even be a few people with relay torches,
relaying up the main street!
Sounds like fun.
Read more about it in the Kiama Independent's article here.
From the article:
After a record-breaking year in 2013, the Kiama Relay for Life is back.
The 2014 relay will be launched this Saturday.
This year's event will take place on May 3-4.
Last year's relay raised a record $136,000, with Team Roberts raising $15,201 -
the most of any team in the Kiama relay's four-year history.
Cancer Council research and support programs received the proceeds.
The launch will feature a street stall at the corner
of Shoalhaven and Terralong streets from 10am-2pm.
Committee members will be under their marquee,
decked out in their yellow and purple shirts.
A decorated truck with loudspeakers will be doing laps, while a few committee members are planning a "Relay run/walk" up to Kiama Village,
complete with Olympic-style relay torches.
