‘Twas on the Monday morning that the poolman came to call… a couple of Mondays ago maybe… anyway the pump wasn’t working properly so they removed it… kept is for days… cleared leaves out of the impeller (they said)… and replaced it in situ. Two days later it stopped again. I rang, told them the … More Twas on the Monday morning…
Xmas is coming and I’m not getting fat… yet 🙂 There’s just too much to do for me to keep blogging as much as usual, so for the next few days there won’t be as much happening in here as usual. Apart from the usual cleaning stuff Xmas is just around the corner and the … More Sporadic posts rule.
The wife pointed out in one of her comments to the entry called “Wife on her way home!” that I’d missed out some of the story of Friday’s events. For a start the eldest child was to go to a Guides Sleepover at 6:30 p.m., but because of one thing and another… such as the … More Ah yes… ok… hmmm.
Saturday… what happened? Beats me. I know I took the youngest skating whilst the wife slept in… then we went shopping… came home… and?? No idea. Obviously we did *something* but I’ll have to ask her what that something actually was 🙂 I know I went to the Guide Hut to do some mowing at … More And I've been where??

Off we go to the school’s Presentation Day where all the kids who’ve done something worth getting an award for… get… an award. Sadly I missed the schooling of my first two kids because of all sorts of factors so I’m making sure I get as much out of these two as I can. Isn’t … More Prize Day at the School!
The garden is slowly reaching it’s ‘seen from space’ look with both house and vegetation festooned with strings of sparkling lights flashing and twinkling for all their worth using up the worlds energy resources as if they’re going out of fashion. On one side of the garden we have our 8 foot snowman leaning over … More It's beginning to look a lot like Xmas.
The house isn’t clean. The house isn’t tidy. Neither am I come to that… but all of us (and it) are as good as we’re going to get. Kids are off to school despite having had yesterday off to visit the doctors because of sinusitis, sore throats and flu. They both have to clean out … More Done as far as done can be.
As written in the other blog, I’ll be giving the gym a miss today and will probably have to miss tomorrow as well! We have two more rellies arriving in the morning and the place looks like a bomb has exploded… again. Too many kids in too small a space in too wet weather means … More The never ending story.
Last night was the finale of the Hills Biggest Loser Competition organised by the gym I’m a member of. I’ve written a little about this in the other blog but this is an extended edition so to speak. For those who’ve not kept up, the competition started 13 weeks ago and ended on Saturday… however … More Life goes on.
