I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Despite having a mass of things that need doing, and no time in which to do them it’s been pretty quiet here for the past couple of days. The wife has been home because we went to the school twice about the eldest daughters transition to high school next year, but otherwise it’s been quiet. … More Dum di dum di dum
Yesterday I also spent 5 hours in the gym working away. In retrospect it was far too long and I’m paying for it today with a reduced capacity for work. My muscles in both legs ache and my right hip is really hurting. I expect to be ok tomorrow but it’s an aggravation I could … More Five hours is too much
Or is that “Hi School?”. We went up to the daughters school last night for an introduction to their ‘revolutionary honours program’. To me it sounded like a version of the usual class ‘streaming’ but with an added layer so there are 4 instead of 3. We can’t tell yet if the eldest will get … More High School!
Last week the dog spent half his time throwing up, and the other half collapsing so naturally we eventually took him to the vet to try to establish the cause. After blood tests and some antibiotics it turned out he has Pancreatitis! We were told we had to starve him for three days… not hard … More The dog.
Bit of a hard day yesterday. Started off badly by having to get up at 5:30 a.m. to get the youngest away to her skating lesson. We usually have an hour walking around the lake, but I found my hip was hurting so much I couldn’t manage more than one circuit, and even that was … More Hard days yakka.
Pouring here again today. The streetsd are flooded… and my car has changed colour from dark blue to a muddy white. Still not complaining… if some of this rain is helping fill the dams while reducing water use – well it cant be bad!!
Our dotty Labrador known as ‘Stoopid’ has come down with some sort of sickness. He’s been throwing up for a couple of days but I thought maybe it was ‘something he ate’ and hope it would sort itself out. But he isn’t getting better. I’ll ring Lewis Buckingham, our local vet, this morning and see … More The dog's sick
The eldest got a ‘B’ which is a credit. She said she was a bit shaky on the scales which cost her the distinction… next time maybe… but either way she did well. Met the wife for lunch and drove home afterwards for the kids to get to their music lessons and then to Tau … More Passed!
Eldest child has a flute exam today… we expect her to fly through it but you never know. Will pass details on later as something dire is sure to happen! 🙂
Must be breaking up… it’s coming down in lumps! Rain is bucketing down and has been for the past couple of days. It’s not as heavy as it has been in the past but at least it’s here. Gardens are flooded as are creeks and rivers. Nevertheless we’re all pleased because apart from stopping us … More Skies breaking up!
