I cannot believe I wrote a whole blog about grass.

So over the summer holidays, our school oval got dug up and a massive tank of recyled water (like a million litres or whatever...) was shoved under it - so they had to re-lay the turf and keep it beautiful, which is an absolute miracle, considering the weather. We've had yellow/straw grass for years, and it's actually the weirdest thing ever to see green grass...

After a week or 2 of the grass being maintained (check out the random clump near the bottom)

AFTER BEING MOWED THIS WEEK OMFG ITS ACTUALLY PERFECT!!!!!!!!

And after assembly this morning, we were called out to the oval steps (I thought our whole school was in trouble LOL) and the principal said she wanted US to be the first people to run across it...so the school captains cut the ribbon and our entire school went charging across the oval :D it's actually incredible...the grass is so soft and long enough to bury the sole of your shoe - my shoes got grassed up


And the Jap classroom smelt like wet/warm grass, ughh...it felt so mouldy and horrible in comparison to the actual beautiful, perfect green grass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And I just wanted to say, that is one of the nicest things I've ever heard of the principal doing.

Wow.
