I feel like there has been plenty going on lately; but as I sit here and type I can't really remember what has happened.
The freshest interesting news is that Hayzey has finally developed the capacity to give herself a bottle. This is not to say that she feeds herself; just that if she is in the mind she can take a bottle (or training cup) and give herself a drink. She's very happy with herself when she does this :-)
I watched the World Cup qualification game the other night (Wednesday??). I've never really understood the appeal of soccer (err .... football) but this game was a ripper. I watched the whole thing and and when the lady finally sang I was shaking. Fantastic!! I'm very firmly on the bandwagon now.
The only downside was that I'd been up since 03:00 due to some work commitments. As it was Hayzey kept us up until about midnight; and then she wake again at 04:00. The following night was worse however - I foolishly read until 22:00 and then Hayzey had us up more or less continuously from 00:30 thru to 04:30. At this stage I brought here downstairs and she suddenly decided to sleep ....
LGR is feeling very arty of late - plenty of pasting, drawing, cutting, painting and general creativity. He painted a picture for his mate Corky; but Corky didn't like it and told LGR this. It broke my heart :-(
LGR also loves the idea of Christmas; but doesn't want to go near Santa. He likes decorations, trees, stories, carols, presents (particularly presents) but doesn't want to talk to Santa. He's still a shy little fellow.
Mrs G is sailing along nicely - manically doing cross stitches in front of the TV and enhoying work immensely. She even took the time out yesterday for a 2 hour haircut!!
I'm starting to feel a little bit comfortable in my new job - but not completely. There's a crapload I have to learn and understand but the people there are good, the culture is positive and the tech basis of the company appears to be fundamentally sound. The decision to move was a good one and, in spite of the offers of an open door if I should decide to come back, it appears unlikely that my previous employer will be missed.
