It has been some time since I updated the blog, and so spent a couple of hours adding to the Books category because all that time I was not updating this blog, I was reading. Since about May 2008 I think I will just give a quick overview of life and vow to keep updating to a regular basis.
Weather: It has remained wet, which is to be expected because soccer and wet weather go together. Spent the soccer season out every saturday morning standing in wind and rain, and tending to the odd real and imagined injury with the magic spray (a can of spray cold ice type stuff – harmless placebo). Then dashed home to warm up and deal with the housework. Thank the Lord for whoever invented the clothes dryer. Thought numerous times whether we needed a second water tank in case the great drought of 07/08 returns, but that is all we did – thought and talked. Having watched the watertank overflow several times this winter (case in point just last night and we are entering summer in a couple of months) we think we are safe.
DVD watching has been high on the list after soccer support, horse support, housework and napping on a Sunday afternoon. Greatest so far is “Jane Austen’s Book Club”. Also “Run fat boy, Run” another English goodie which I actually saw twice. And thats all I can remember for now.
Gym membership still going but I have been terrible at keeping attendance. New year’s resolution if I were the type to make these and stick to them, would be to go to the gym more often. Have been very tired of late, havent really picked up since the flu in May for heavens sake, but could also be a bit of old age.
Garden: Disasterous, have not really kept on top of things as much as we would like, but cant plant out too many vegies because we are off to Europe for a couple of months and dont want any new plants dying if there is a drought (good excuse, which I will stick to).
Have come across lots of wonderful blogs, good reading, especially ones about books and reading. Will list a few later when time permits.
