It is Monday again and here I am blogging while the going is good. I’ve got a plumber coming here between 9-11am to fix a totally putrid toilet that has been blocked up in the kids bathroom. Justin thought he could do the job, but this is even beyond his scope of imaginative homemade unblocking instruments, so the professionals have been called in.
Do you even wonder at the marvels of the human body in repairing itself? Over the past week I certainly have. Every morning I get up and can bend my knee just that little bit more, and now a week out of surgery I can get up and down the stairs almost normally, rather than this hop-skip-hip-throwing-jig that I was doing before. Still not driving, but I reckon tomorrow is the day.
Over the weekend we convinced Holly to try riding without her training wheels. You would have thought we were asking her to donate her eyes to science the way she carried on. I did a kick-butt inspirational speech and even had her chanting “I am wonderful, I am amazing” to give her the confidence she needed. It took her a few goes, but in the end she was riding for a several pedal rotations before losing balance, but she is keen to practice now so I am betting that by the weekend she’ll have it down pat.
H and M went to a birthday party for Addy across the road yesterday. Location of party – Questacon. It was great. They did science experiments, made biscuits and then went up to Mini-Q for an hour where we met up with them with Jess and Amy. What a great place for a party. Even Amy had a blast, sitting up in a high chair at the water exhibit splashing away and having the time of her life. Jess loved the Pet Vet, dressing up in the white coat and taking xrays of the animals while often nicking off next door to the play Bakery and getting a croissant or two.
I’m on a mission to tidy up a bit now that spring is in the air. I’m sick of every surface being sticky, the floor being lumpy and there being mess everywhere. My new policy – “if it was that important to you it wouldn’t be on the floor, now it is in the bin”. Am I brave enough – hmm, we’ll see!!
Have a great day.
