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!

There are times my life is quite chaotic… and I swear it *isn’t* always my fault! Take this morning as an example. I take the kids to school as usual, with no problems to speak of and with the intention of continuing to the gym for yet more torture. However as I pull away from … More Flaming animals…

Not a lot happening really so yet again I missed a day yesterday! The eldest daughter was home again because of her tonsillitis, so I only spent an hour in the gym instead of the usual 2½ – 3 hours. The rest of the day was just a ‘blur’ chatting online to my sister-in-law in … More Quiet lately.

I forgot to mention the start to my day. Daylight saving starts tonight… but because the wife was home Friday I got a bit disorientated and thought it was *today*. I woke at 5:15 a.m. to start nagging the kids to get dressed. The youngest has a skating lesson at 6:30 a.m. and the eldest … More Daylight saving.

Picked the wife up… she’s home… all is well. 😀 We staggered out of bed at 4:30 a.m., showered, dressed and made it to the car at 5:25 a.m. Trip was uneventful and we arrived at the airport just as the wife emerged from customs so no waiting for any of us. Lots of hugs … More Ooh la my baby's back!
