Will keep this very brlief, otherwise I may begin to whinge....and I'm picking no-one wants to hear that.
But happily, no headache today, so spent a couple of happy hours watching the girls swim at the Hawarden pool. Amazing how fast a couple of hours goes with friends, a handful of dive sticks, a ball and a water pistol. What a fantastic asset the good old country pool is, and what a healthy gathering-place for kids. At the Hawarden pool you can purchase a pool key for $50 which gets you in throughout daylight hours, all summer. For a family of our size, that's about the same cost as a trip to one movie. No comparison.
Halfway through radiotherapy treatment now, just five more 'zaps' to go. My use of inappropriate words has cranked up a notch.....I said to a mum at the pool today, who I usually only see at the poolside throughout summer, that it would be 'nice to catch up with her at the pub this summer.' She looked puzzled, but not enitrely against the idea. I meant pool, honest.
Kids are watching a Friends DVD and I hear Pheobe's wonderful dedication, sung along to one single 'chord' on the guitar...
"Monica, Monica,
Have a happy Hanukah"
Freudian slips. I love it when the truths pops out and bites you. I would love to see you at the pub this summer Jo (just not entirely sure the pub is the place anymore, sadly)! And Pheobe is who I style myself upon - is that a bad thing??
ReplyDeleteOn an entirely different subject; there is a mason fly building a nest above my computer, in the fold at the top of my curtain. Is this a good thing? My inner Buddhist is very much at peace with the knowledge that my curtain is the perfect sanctuary, chosen above all other possible positions. My inner husband disagrees.
Aren't they called mason flies because they nest in your masonry? Personally, I'd spray him. Maybe I did that in another life....
ReplyDeleteYou won't feel so Buddhist about that fly when he/she has babies and they all do that flying-in-a-square-formation thing flies are doing at my house at the moment.
