Star of the Week

Martin get his mandatory star of the week for being "positive". What ever happened to getting prizes/rewards when you actually do something meaningful or outstanding. So, now we reward people for merely existing and kids with raisin like brains believe they are super-achievers which translates into "Hi, I'm not very bright but I'd like to be the CEO at 24". I guess this is where parenting comes in but if parents are anything to go by today, we are in serious trouble.

On a lighter note, we made our first batch of olives from the tree. I (Georgie) have a feeling they are supposed to be prepared a different way as they are kalamata but I did them in a traditional method. I gave it a go and they turned out pretty well, but nobody trusts my recipe enough to eat them....maybe next year!
