Took Master L and a friend of his out for a fluffy after the Santa Parade this afternoon. Little Friend said "can we get hot chips as well?" Me: "no just fluffies" LF: "why?" Me: "because I'm mean". LF (to Master L): "is your Mum mean?" Master L: "even if she bought us chips she would just be fattening us up for the kill" WHERE DOES THIS COME FROM? Who hearing that would think we are in fact mild mannered mostly vegetarians????? That and his little brother whose favourite phase at the moment is "I'm going to cut your head off"......................................
On a completely different note I've been talking with some amazing folk about what our community needs - to support those with the highest needs and break cycles of poverty, poor health, low literacy and all that goes along with that. So far we have come up with:
- intergenerational upskilling centre
- cooking / nutrition skills
- literacy / numeracy / home work help
- parenting skills across all development stages from teeth brushing to internet safety, teething to tough love
- budgeting
- self care
- accessible medical / dental / midwifery care
- to share food some of us have grown, some of us have cooked and some of us have served.
The Cobden Community Hub is making some great steps towards these goals............. what's next?
