I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Had a *very* hard day yesterday! It was ‘weigh-in’ day at the competition… I’d lost 4 kilos but only after a heavy session on the treadmill which boiled off a lot of water! 🙂 After that the kids went to a Girl Guide/Scouting organised event called JOTA (Jamboree of the Air). It’s JOTA’s 50th year … More Where did yesterday go?
Am sitting here still in a haze of well-being because of the quiet time in the garden and on the computer I’m playing through some of my old Beatles tracks. Currently the system is working through Abbey Road on the ‘Because’ track. Gee those guys were something special. Track after track, of wildly differing styles, … More Old music… old memories
Came home today after the usual couple of hours at the gym. It was stinking hot outside and no sign of rain so, as usual, out came the hosepipe. Mid-day is not the best time to be watering, but where the alternative is waiting until the right time… and meanwhile the plants die of thirst… … More Life at the Manse.
After her quick sojourn in sunny London (where as usual she was worked too hard) the wife has decamped and is making her way up to even sunnier Edinburgh… and the best of luck to her I say. Current predictions for the granite city are maximum temperatures of 12ºC (minimum 3ºC) and overcast skies. Actually… … More And… away she goes!!
Yes indeedy. The Leonid Meteor Shower will hit earth once again on November 17th – 18th (give or take a week) about 11:00 p.m. At least that’s when it’ll hit the Northern hemisphere. I’m afraid I’ve not yet worked out when those of us in Australia will be able to see it properly. Either way, … More Leonids are coming again!
Kids have to be in school at 8:30 a.m. so it’s a fairly quiet start to the day. Not sure how I’ll go in the gym since my toe still hurts (I forgot to soak it in hot salty water last night… I was too tired when I got in) but I’ll try and see … More Quiet day.
While I was at the GP, she had a look at my blood tests from last April and told me my B12 count was very low. Leaving aside the question of why it took so long for them to tell me… she thought I might have been vegetarian… which I’d like to be but ain’t! … More Yet more pills!
Had a nice long chat with the wife yesterday which was good. The eldest daughter had a good long chat this morning… which from her perspective was even better. She really misses her mum…. awwww… 🙂 Other than that not a lot happening. I still have an infection in my toe which stopped me from … More So…
To be fair she *was* (is?) jet lagged and had no computer access for a while. However, at least in the hotel all is sorted and we had a long chat using Google chat. I say she was jet lagged yet she managed to meet up with a friend from our college days. She’d intended … More Finally the wife surfaces!
I assume all is well over there. Besides, I’m not really sure when she arrives so I can’t complain about not getting a ‘safe arrival’ message! It’s a 27 hour flight if I recall correctly… so she may well not even be there until 7:00 tonight! 🙂 Have patience grasshopper and wisdom will come!! 🙂
