An interview this morning - I'm asking myself why on earth would I put myself through this and remember that builders are starting work next month....

I got the job!!!

I am more than trivially happy. It ends up that it is for the maximum hours that I could do alongside my current job and family commitments. I could nearly do cartwheels :-D

I was working today, outside, but in the shade, with that lovely cool breeze.

Just looked outside and all my plants and bushes look lovely. Spent weeks with a soldering iron modifying solar lights and now everything is bathed in colour. Spent so much time matching LED colours to plant colours to show them off.

Tell me how

plucking out the weird wiry hairs from your eyebrows that look like daddylonglegs legs,
and yes, I'm a man and admit to selectively plucking hairs from my eyebrows, not to shape them mind you, just so I dont look like this:

Lady is a tramp

My friend has just asked me to house-sit and dog-sit for her for the foreseeable future.

I'm so scared it won't transpire, but god, if it did ... I've not had a home since June 2015. The thoughts of going back to the same familiar bed one night after another ... I'm just ... overwhelmed. I wish it could happen. I hope it will happen! It looks like it will.

Fingers toes and everything crossable crossed. It's beyond my wildest dreams, to even spend a week not living on couches and out of the boot of my car. Two nights in a row in the same place is such a luxury, the odd time it happens. Let alone weeks on end!

Thinking happy happy happy thoughts ... I'm a good person, I deserve this break! I do! It WILL happen!

I do the exact same thing!

Getting changed to go for a run only to realise I've already got my running socks on.

Been wearing 'em all day.

Huzzah!

A toddler's imagination. So gorgeous just to sit in the same room as your 2-year-old and hear her playing away on her own. It's such a serious business. Deadly serious, as she positions her dolls and all their utensils (if that's the word) in particular places and then reflects on various aspects of how her toys are arranged.

There are big sighs, nods in frustration, nods in satisfaction and even giggles to herself. There are tut, tuts to various dolls over something which they presumably did, and there are extravagent introductions between dolls. All with a hilarious lisp from still using her soother and from her Spanish lessons (!) [most of the carers in the crèche are Spanish and they have officially designated Spanish lessons, creid é nó ná creid].

There are dolls sitting on imaginary toilets, with herself doing toilet sounds. The faces on her as she thinks through things are a language in their own right. Her lack of verbal skills are definitely being compensated for by a massive range and intensity of facial and body expressions. And then she needs me urgently to help change her doll's nappy and she's very concerned about this. So I get down and change (!) the doll's nappy and during this deadly serious operation (it's completely disrespectful to smile in an emergency like this) herself looks at me and passes a little smile as if to say 'Thanks for playing my game.'

Blessed, beautiful, sacred days.

I go to the hospital every six weeks or so but I have an in depth review with lots of tests once a year, bit like a human NCT. I don't have all of the results yet but so far they are very happy with me and there has been no deterioration in the last year

The zara sale started and I ran over from work and all the muumys are asking me what size do you wear and what would fit my son as there about the same build as you ha

Had a really crappy day and I'm just showered, tucked up watching trashy Bravo TV

Ol' Donie

Just discovered that my local run of the mill Italian chipper does really nice pizzas, way nicer than any of that Domino cheese-in-the-crust-and-ganky-gloop-to-dip-because-more-has-to-be-better-right? style rubbish.

Way cheaper, too.

It's almost 12 and I finish work at 12.30. I love this time - the longest time possible till work again on Monday morning.

Fellow motorists who put on their hazards to thank me this morning put a smile on my face.
Decent manners and gratitude can really make someone's day!
