I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Up at 4:45 a.m. and out at 5:15 a.m. with both kids and away to the ice rink for the youngest to have her lesson. By 6:45 a.m. she’d had enough she’d fallen on her knees and decided enough was enough. No matter how much coaxing and reminding her ‘champions never quit’… she was too … More Skater Boi?
A few weeks ago the eldest was sitting in the back of the car on the way home singing away as she does to whatever is in the radio. I like the ‘oldies’ so I tune into stations that play those songs. We were driving along listening to a song by the Police and suddenly … More Kids say the oddest things!
I like the Askimet plugin for WordPress (and other) blogs. So far in the current incarnation of the Opinion Australia blog, it’s intercepted 13,537 spam posts since it was installed. Comment spam is a real problem for all blogs chewing up both bandwidth and time. Askimet is pretty good at doing its job.
In case you live outside Wales and wonder what the hell the subject is about… that expression is a part of Wenglish and means she’s following doctors orders about her back. He seems to think it’s nothing serious, a plain muscle spasm. He suggests she has a day or two on diazepam and anti-inflammatories and … More The wife's now under the doctor!
For those of us who lived through the turbulent ‘Beatle Years’ and the ensuing fall out following their… err… falling out… another chapter has closed with the death of Neil Aspinall aged 66, the ‘mastermind’ who pulled their fledgling company ‘Apple Corps’ into a semblance of order after the anarchy that preceded his arrival. He … More Vale Neil Aspinall
I’ve finally finished off the antibiotics… though am yet to see the doc to be assured all is at last well with the toe! The thing *seems* to be ok now, no nail of course and still a bit odd looking, but at least it looks as if it’s sorted. The back/hip/knee is still painful … More Swings and roundabouts.
Well if ever a truism was true… I suppose that one is! 🙂 The wife is currently on her feet and meandering around the house. Still in pain but at least more mobile than she has been most of the day. We live in hope. Maybe she should have a nice hot bath later filled … More Tomorrow is another day!
Went outside for the first time today (the wife is ‘mobile’ for the time being) but a few seconds after going out I was rushing back in. And soon after I was again bemoaning the lack of a decent camera. Dancing in the garden were two beautiful white butterflies ‘making whoopee’! The little pocket video … More The butterflies flutter by
I’m sure you’ll all be relieved to learn I ‘repaired’ the water boiler. Only took a couple of minutes… turned out the ‘fill’ tube had a crack in it so all I needed to do was invert it and screw it back together. It took more time to clean the scale off the screws etc. … More Tea hee!!
Zoomed off yesterday to get the youngest to her skating lesson… gosh I *love* to get up at 5:00 a.m. on a Good Friday morning to drive 40 minutes just to sit in a freezing ice rink for two hours. Obviously my greatest desire came true! Still, we were back by 9:00 having made a … More Get up in de morning…
