The builders didn't turn up this morning. After much phoning around it eventually became clear that no-one -insurance or contractors - knows when they'll be turning up. So no screed on the floor. Still. Frustration, however, abounds. Two weeks I've been trying to get a date for these works to be done, and nothing ( Read more... ) -

The boys returned from their holiday in Snowdonia this evening. Crikey, am I glad they're home - I really missed them.
They did send my postcards while they were away though. They went like this:
To my mum
I'm happy and I have been to a castle that was made in the year 1295 thats 711 years ago.
I hope your feeling better love from James xxxxx

Enforced rest is making me take things slower and have started tackling all those little 'to-do' jobs that get put on the back-burner usually - well they do if you procrastinate like me ( Read more... ) -

Sharon is visiting for a couple of days - babysitting for me yesterday among other things - and she and the boys have been having some... illuminating conversations. Last night, while I was ensconsed in the pub, they were back at the ranch with no electricity - power cut, not sabotage! - and had a chat over supper about all the mod-cons we take ( Read more... ) -

Not usually one to make political comment on here but watching the news reports from Qana... I am absolutely appalled by what is happening in Lebanon.
What the hell is Israel doing??

Feeling very thankful this evening. Thankful and wireless!! Katie's husband got hold of an old laptop for me and I've managed to figure out the whole wireless card thing so that here I am, sitting on the sofa, surfing! And there I will be, in the library, on placement, wherever, plugging away at my dissertation. Very cool. :)

Found a link to the video of a song that I love in my inbox this morning. Why do I love it? Because it just screams Tristan at me; makes me a little misty eyed.

edit: The boys came up with some alternative lyrics...
Said I'm Tris, I'm six, and my mum's crazy, drives me round in her strawberry!

Tonight, lying on the sofa, watching the curtains billow out from the window and feeling the first breeze of the day I realised, all over again, how good my life is. Good as in full of possibility and opportunity. Good as in full of wonderful people and more love than I've ever known. Good as in... abundant (help me, I'm starting to sound like ( Read more... ) -

I meant to write about the weekend, amazing as it was, but I'm just not in that space right now. Maybe tomorrow. Instead I'm going to rave about soup. Beetroot soup to be exact. I made it this evening and it was a revelation. Tastes fantastic, looks amazing, this could possibly be my latest food fad ( Read more... )
