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!
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…
Might be a little quiet in here for a day or two. Somehow I managed to run the mower over my ‘computer glasses’ and wrecked them. My ‘spares’ have an arm missing… with the result that I can hardly see the screen! 🙂 Yes I could take out my contact lenses and use my ordinary … More Oops.
Out last night with the kids collecting lollies and sweets from the local neighbourhood. My daughters went by themselves in the end. The neighbours daughter was told she had too much homework to do so wasn’t allowed to go. I thought was a bit mean spirited really since it’s just one night, but there ya … More And away went the kids
Almost forgot to mention it’s Halloween tonight. Much as I loathe this Americanism it seems to have taken hold here as an excuse for kids to wander around people’s houses begging for lollies!! 🙂 My kids obviously took to this with much pleasure and now they team up with a young girl from across the … More Almost forgot
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.
