Sniff……

this time I am sick, after being kept awake all night with the boys coughing I seem to have caught whatever it is that he has.
It started a little last night with the sore throat and the headache, a couple of paracetmole, hoping it would help, a glass of water and straight to bed, I woke up at around 5 all stuffed up and feeling like I was going to be sick, the boy is a bloody fidget every time he moved I felt ten times worse eventually despite all of the sips of water, cursing him I just made it, sorry too much info, I dragged myself back to bed he got up not long after to do computer stuff, I had to get my own water he told me to have a shower but I felt sick again so … back to bed, thinking he dosen’t care, later he went to get some petty for the wippersnipper and brought back some cold and flu stuff so maybe he does care.

after some cold and flu stuff I feel much better, I still don’t think I could eat anything so breaky juice it is today. the boy is trying to convince me to go to work, we’ll see I’m not too keen on making everyone else sick but then I don’t want to have to get a note from the Dr either

Is Tuesday???????

Wow it’s tuesday already, my early morning walk didn’t happen I woke up to the boy coughing constantly, he has some flu like bug.
I would have simpathy if he went to bed at a reasonable hr and rested more but, he tends to try and do more than he can handle and generally doesn’t get to bed till after 1am. He complained today that it seems to be hanging on for ages, didn’t agree with my reasoning, something about the clock always ticking and sleeping being a waste of time, oh well some people just can’t be helped

we did however take the dogs for a long walk to get bread and milk, I also got the latest Good taste Mag, I did think about subscribing but it works out more expensive

is anyone else cold???

yesterday was a real scorcher too hot to stay in to hot to be out for too long today I was looking for the sun its sooo cold maybe that’s exaggerating a bit but I have been busy, I have decided that it is time for our two sets of dining chairs to go I have cleaned and mopped the kitchen and done some washing the boy couldn’t believe that I was doing things and started being very annoying when I had a go at him for standing where I was about to mop and dropping chicken crumbs on the floor I had just swept the very cute “I’m Sowy” only works once or twice.
Anyway I have gotten the EBay bug again and will need to sell things in order to fund by bidding habit Click Here to see my Items for sale hopefully the old chairs will fund a newer set of chairs that I am looking at and well the books will fund the books I’m looking at

Hoping to drag my bum out of bed early in the morning with the intention of going for a walk we’ll see how that goes

Ever been to a clasic bike show??

No?? here’s a good example,a nice big trip into the city, which seems to be becoming a weekend habit , at least it was away from the traffic this time It got very windy not long after we got there so we didn’t stay long we also got there a little late because we stopped at his brothers new house, nice but the poor bloke definitely has his work cut out, lots of things to do, who ever built the house for them didn’t finish it, we will be making sure we get a finished house before signing the contract when we rebuild here, neither of us have the time to spend building front and back steps or laying flooring

hmmm football


can some one please tell me how long an AFL quarter goes for. Last night they played the final, Sydney swans v Freemantle Dockers??? I think for the first time ever it was on prime time TV, I watched the first quarter and part of the second, by the time I got home from work they were still playing!

anyway I think I could like this game, so far I understand

  • you can be out as much as you like as long as the ball stays in,
  • a goal is 6 points but if you get close you still get 1,
  • you bounce the ball every so many steps
  • try not to be tackled, I don’t know why but its not good

The boy is a big rugby League fan, Parramatta Eels to be exact, to me

  • it’s a field full of boofy lumps of blokes some with cute little bums
  • running head long into each other to take the ball from one end to the other
  • get it on the ground over the line “Try” that’s 4 points
  • after a try you get a free kick at goal that’s 2 points
  • but kick a goal while running and its only 1

The Wokness monster

well it turns out the Wokness monster has arrived I haven’t mentioned it before because well, I don’t think that much about those things, I try to avoid mentioning names, especially after the boy expressed his disslike at other people being able to see these things but in this case, my cousin Wok and his wife Ness are the proud parents of a baby boy, Nicholas James, 8 pound
(umm yeah whats a pound worth again)
anyway, I’m sure even if they aren’t jumping over the moon they are very happy or at least I hope they are.

Mum always says I’m like Wok because we have similar manerisims and reactions to things, I can be jumping out of my skin but you wouldn’t know it,

yep spring is here


I was watching our cherry tree today it has a few little flower buds on it, yesterday was 2, today is 5, anyway I was watching one of these flowers and I swear it was growing and changing by the second, early in the morning it was a tight little bud which by later in the morning had become a half open bud and by the time I went to work was a fully open blossom how awesome is that.The mango is getting ready to flower, I’m really looking forward to that, yes I like mangoes but I’m interested to see how it flowers and mangoes grow, one advantage of not spraying for insects is that I am not all that worried about weather the trees will be pollinated or not, at the moment there are plenty of insects around, my favourite are the native bees, its amazing how they hover and dart around

Ah ha

Well it seems the wonder full people at blogger have fixed yet another bug in beta, I can comment yet again, and yep other people can comment here too ha haa

now on to today or is it this week I don’t know, I’ve been pretty slack with things lately,

I have sent the part from the little beastie away to be modified, you don’t want to know how much its going to cost, but for an idea I had to work 28hrs OT to pay for it. I got a call from the bike shop the parts I need have to be ordered from England, bloody British bikes, so there’s another 2 weeks off the road, but with daylight savings and warmer weather on the way I MIGHT drag up the courage to ride my bicycle and catch the train, notice the big might, we don’t live in the greatest of areas and its at least a 15 minute ride from the station, in the dark, I used to when we only live 5 mins from the station but that was on a bicycle track which is very well lit………. I know excuses, excuses

I have decided that the best way for me to get the things I want will be to work for them, I don’t like working extra hrs it plays with the mind a little, I get very moody if I work too much, but there are too many things I want and I don’t want to be relying on credit all the time

I have been informed that I dress as my mum would and need desperately to go shopping, also discovered I have a triumph bra expert living with me and I didn’t know it, I found out while trying to find something to go to work in. Apparently my blue checked shorts which are almost too big for me are really daggy, so i tried on some I haven’t worn for ages, they were too tight so I found another pair which were a little snug but not ridiculous, then I needed a top to match, the first one was too daggy the next too dressy another I wouldn’t be able to wear a bra under, the fourth was too big but it also showed, “gee I’ve got big boobs”,”its not the boobs its that daggy old bra with the dead elastic isn’t giving you any support, you need to stop spending money on things you want and spend some on yourself for a change”, so my next mission is to go and find some not to dressy casual clothes which I can wear when doing everything from walking the dogs to going to work.

I DID IT ………..ARGHHHHHHHHHHH

I did it I diditIdidit, I called them ha haaaaaaaa I actually called someone on the other side of the world to order parts for a bike ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OK so I’m a little shaky and bouncing of the walls, quick someone make me a coffee I’m so excited

For those who have never read My journey into the Unknown one of my biggest fears is talking to strangers or for that matter sometimes people I know on the phone, but as of about 5 mins ago I spoke to a really nice lady in England WoooooHooooooo

I also rang around for parts for my bonnie which didn’t inspire me at all because the bloke didn’t believe that I needed them, I almost went mad at him as I mentioned it has been almost my only form of transport for the last 5 years I forgot to mention it has almost 80,000K’s on the clock that won’t be cheap either but hopefully it will keep the baby working for another 80,000
