Sorry it's been a while. It's always been a while hasn't it? Hmmm.
We watched a programme on tv the other night called A Passionate Woman. It was a two-parter starring Billie Piper and Sue Johnston and it was absolutely fabulous. It told a story about regrets. A young woman had an affair with a man she fell passionately in love with, but he got killed. As the woman grew older, the regret ate away at her and sent her a bit mental. Deb and I agreed that we would not go mental because of regrets in our old age. I love my Deb.
However, she fell down the stairs last week holding our Luke. Luke banged his arm and Deb bruised her arse...
"Ouch"
Poor bruised wife.
Last week - in fact, exactly a week since, we gave Luke a hair cut. He looked like a proper scruffy tramp so we decided that rather than subject professional hairdressers to his screaming, we'd tackle it at home. Out came the trusty hair clippers and about 20 mins later, a tidy (ish) haired boy emerged. He claims it hurt loads, but I think otherwise.
Speaking of hair cuts, I am noticing more and more grey hairs. Around my ears, on my chest, and, of course - pubes. I'm not massively bothered by it on my head. I must have mentioned before, I am looking forward to going grey as I will look distinguished and interesting. Grey chest hairs - hmmmm. Not too sure about that. Maybe when we retire to the Canary Islands and I have a tan like David Dickinson, maybe then - they'll look ok. Pubes? Just ridiculous. If I was brave enough I'd wax.
Been working WELL hard on the garden during the last few days. Got a load of photo's over at OneADayFor365Days blog of my progress. As a result, my back is knackered and my shoulders hurt quite a lot. I also burned my lip and tongue on one bloody hot chip this evening. I was fortunate to have an icy cold can of Blackthorn to hand to ease my distress.
I am on day 5 of my 6 off and I can honestly say that I think this is the most productive 6 off I've ever had. It started with a visit from my lovely children (minus Abbey), which was ace. Weather was perfect and our new barbecue was christened. Lessons were learned from that, by the way. Following that, we had a relaxing Sunday evening with an Indian (meal, not person). Monday saw the start of the garden refurb and tomorrow will see me getting Deb's Corsa valeted. I can't remember what occasion I promised her I'd get it done for, but at least it's finally being done!
Right, that'll be that then - I'll do another of these sometime soon.
Be young, be foolish, but remember to be happy.
Goodbye reader...
