I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
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!! 🙂
School, gym, shop and home. An hour and it’ll be time to go out to pick the kids up again! What a day. I was out ‘shopping’ for worms actually. The wife wants to restart her worm farm and before she left she dragged it out of it’s hiding place, cleaned it and loaded it … More Home again, home again…
So far we’ve done ok! Kids were up at 6:30 a.m. grumbling and moaning as usual but after some jolly encouragement… and threats of violence… they both got up, showered and dressed. Breakfast cooked by me with no picking! Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hash browns, beans, spaghetti and tinned mushrooms. Not a gourmet feast admittedly, … More Morning: The First.
So the wife has left for the UK. She might even be there by now… can’t recall when she arrives. She’s dressed for the weather with woollies and a Mac and is really looking forward to two weeks of rain after all the sun we’ve had here. We were all missing her here even before … More Away to the woods.
We finally got to the competition at around 4:30 p.m. after the wife went into the boarding area at Mascot. The youngest was already there having been taken to the rink by a friend who’s daughter (Lara) was also having a go. We were a bit concerned that we might have missed the their efforts … More The Skating Competition.
When we got back in the car the TomTom had been charging for a little while so the wife tried the reset button again. And it worked. The navigation system took us from home to the airport but importantly it helped us thread our way through the city streets to the ice rink in no … More Talking of "sod's law"…
