I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
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…
The Indian Summer has stalled after all. The promised storms didn’t eventuate it’s true, but it *has* been gently raining for an hour or so and the temperature has finally dropped to 24ºC. Basically it’s ‘bank holiday weather’ in true UK Style! 🙂 Made no difference to us tho, we have been hard at work … More And then the rain came!
The daughter asked if a friend from Girl Guides could sleepover tonight so of course we agreed. Her bedroom needed some attention so she was told to clear up… or no friend sleeping over! After some grumbling, away she went. She picked up clothes, books and toys etc and vacuumed the floor. While this was … More Pleasant days
While there has been no sign of a frost… it hardly ever gets cold enough even in the depths of winter to claim we’ve been ‘freezing’… I think we might claim the last week or two to represent an ‘Indian Summer, albeit with an Australian edge to it! The weather has been very warm, especially … More Our Indian Summer?
Up at 4:45 a.m. to get the youngest ready for her lesson. Wake up the eldest, the wife surfaces… and off we go. We drop the wife off at the bus stop (too hard to get to the train station and then back to the main road) and away we go… again. Didn’t take as … More Kids – who'd have them?
This morning I received a long ‘essay’ via a third party. The request was that I print a ‘rebuttal’ by the relatives we told would have to leave after they’d lived here rent free for four months. So I read it… and re-read it with a growing sense of incredulity which rapidly turned into anger … More End of the line.
