Day Off

I decided to take an extra day off today. We didn't get back from a mamouth Enfield tour yesterday until about 9:00pm and I really didn't fancy the journey again. (Obviously I didn't do a mamouth Enfield tour - I did a full day at work followed by a short Enfield tour.)

That said Joni is running around (Lovely though she is) and I really should do something with my day. Maybe I should have gone to work!

Hiccups & Rugby

I've got hiccups*! It doesn't sound like a big deal, but I've had them on and off all day. It's getting to be slightly upsetting! Now drinking seems to fix them, but they still come back. The bigger problem is not the hiccups though... the bigger problem is that I can't help thinking - "I wonder if me getting rid of my hiccups made the England boys lose???" I don't mean it, there can't be a link, but it does make me grateful that I'm not superstitious!

I tell you what though... I'll be a bit more careful about ridding myself of the hiccups while I'm watching the Grand Prix tomorrow!

And as a final note on the rugby - I think it's important to gain a little perspective. In a modern world with crime, poverty, third world debt and climate change we have to consider the actual significance of winning or losing the Rugby World Cup. It's important to remember that it's not the winning or the losing that counts... What's important is that we beat the French!

*I think that's how to spell hiccups... Looks funny though.

Long Time Again

So April was my last post. That's 179 days ago. Why so long? There is two main reasons... Work has been ridiculous, meaning I don't get the time anymore to do this. The second reason is that, like the rest of the world, I discovered facebook! So all of the time I could have been blogging I've actually been facebooking. So what has been happening over the last half a year???

Well Joni got naughty... Not really naughty, but she's definitely 2! She's lovely though and I prefer to think of it as spirited! Work continues, but we're making progress and moving the role forward. The house has changed slightly. We have a new bathroom, which is just about complete, and a few more slightly updated rooms. Joni has a new kitchen... which is very very snazzy. I'm also reminded that I have a loose "Z" key, meaning typing snazzy wasn't easy! Di has started working for HSI (See link on right). I've started the process of becoming a local preacher for the Methodist church.

Actually when I look at it it's been quite a busy 6 months. I think I need to sleep now it makes me feel tired. I better head back to watch Hamilton do the business. Hopefully you;ll get another post before next April!
