I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Today I’d intended to spend all day working on the inside of the house starting to clean in ready for the arrival of the rellies. Unfortunately things never go exactly as planned and I have to go for a blood test first. This one requires ‘fasting’ for 12 hours so right now I’m really hungry. … More Tasks ahead?
Well inside is a tip. Outside is looking a little better… as it should be after the time I’ve spent out there! I had to mow the lawns again yesterday despite having only mowed it last weekend! Seems bizarre really… you feed and water it, then cut it short. May just as well leave it … More And our house?
Up to the Guide Hut early yesterday morning to do more watering of the turf. I realised when I’d finished that the hut isn’t inside the recycling are so was subject to water restrictions. This meant getting there much earlier. Had spent an hour and a half there pouring water in all directions when a … More Water, water everywhere.
The hordes will be descending upon us soon. The first contingent of the UK mob will be arriving on the 27th so the coming weekend will be the last chance to make some sort of impression on the mess. Of course we have no *time* free over the weekend to do anything… so lord knows … More Not long to go!
The daughter has her ‘Year 6 Formal’ coming up. To me this seems like a blatant money grab by the school. There isn’t a ‘dance’ for them… just an evening out with their parents – seriously! What’s worse is that the cost is $85 per parent and $45 for the child. So just to go … More Formally miffed.
A lot of Saturday was spent out in the garden. I finished strimming the edges of the lawns front and back and mowed. Spread lawn fertiliser over them and watered it in. Yesterday was *also* spent in the garden. The wife went out with the kids firstly to shop, and then to drop them off … More Weeeeed….. ?
The wife’s niece has now confirmed she and *her* husband will be arriving mid-December to stay with us as well. This will be an interesting Xmas. No idea how long they’ll be with us yet… but like I said most people seem to want to stay so it could be weeks or months. 🙂 This … More And… there's more!
In ten days the eldest, eldest daughter will be arriving with the family for and 8 week stay. The house is in turmoil as you’d imagine and we’re trying to cope with the existing chaos by adding to it as we move furniture etc around. We’re all really looking forward to her coming. We’ve not … More Just 10 days… and counting!
A main effect of the little white pills is elevated metabolism… and enhanced wakefulness which is why I take them. The downside of the pills is that in the begginning they *do* tend to keep me awake at night. Not that I’m complaining as such, even though I’m sort of sleepy… I’m just not sleeping. … More Hardly any sleep.
I was commenting in the other blog how much I’ve come to rely on the Modafinil that Stephen Parsons (the ‘diet doctor’) prescribed for me some months ago. A week or so ago I ran out of little white pills and whilst I *could* have got a repeat prescription from my local GP, I thought … More Modafinil Blues.
