Another update

My second post in a week .....

Poor Mrs Jones is quite crook - to the extent where so far she has taken 2.5 days off and will probably have tomorrow off. She even cancelled trips to Canberra and Brisbane.

Must be serious.

Not sure what else I should talk about. LGR is back at school and loving it. Again. He has more homework to do and seems to be less keen to do it than he was in the past. He also seems to be quite tired each night. I also have to keep reminding myself that he is now a 6 year old and not a 5 year old boy.

He seems to be getting quite tall too.

Hayzey learnt some new words at kindy this week to describe some 'delicate' parts of the female. When she blurts them out I can't help but have a chuckle.

Random thought ... We are thinking about changing the kids swimming school. LGR is tall enough to stand up in the pool and won't make an effort to swim properly anymore - because he can save himself anytime he wants to. No fault on the swim school - just a function of age I guess.

Really?

Working Again

My home ADSL connection is working again. I feel like I have returned to the 21st century.

Returned from holidays

Hi Folks

We've been back a few days from our latest holiday - a little stay up at Surfers (6 nights) followed by a couple of nights in Forster.

Fantastic trip. Nice to get out of town and smell saltwater and fresh air. We drove up in a single day and it was a very long day. Left home at 03:00 and pulled into Surfers at about 16:00. Not very many tantrums from the kids (one massive tanty from yours truly at Ballina ...) and an overall nice drive.

I'll put up some more stuff next week (can't blog from home - my ADSL gateway has managed to fry itself during bootup and I am waiting for a replacement from my ISP ...)

I was also in Brisbane for a few days last month for work - but it was really a conference with very work related themes. We got taken out a few times by event sponsors and generally had a great time while learning a crapload of stuff.

That's all for now - look forward to seeing most of my readers on the weekend!!!
