My mind is a blank I don't know what to say. A whirlwind of events have led to such confusion. As I write I am distracted by a collared dove, who having tipped the bird feeder up at an angle is now desperately trying to eat as much grain as possible before it all falls down to the waiting sparrows underneath. Birds really have no gratitude. The pigeons have stripped all my green beans from the plants and the sparrows scatter seed in every direction giving some most exotic plants across the garden. I am sure some of them are illegal. The four legged one does his best but they have usually flown by the time he gets down the garden and then they sit in the trees and laugh at him
Bodybuilder is home for a few days before hoping to collect the keys to his new flat. It is nice to have him back but already we are looking forward to him going! This could be a whole new phase in his life and we will do everything we can to make it go smoothly but I wasn't necessarily expecting to have to bankroll the entire process. "In my day" and everyone else's we started with "second hand and not much of that" as one of my friends said - bet you never thought you would make it onto the blog eh? -
Jetski Boy remains in Zante - we work on the assumption that no news is good news since they all seem to have their mobiles switched off or are just too much in the party spirit to remember where they left them or "whose ringtone is that?" He is due back mid week although we are not sure when and probably neither is he.
Work - don't ask or I might start to cry but the Board are behind me at the moment - as the man said just before he was pushed over the cliff
Some moments of wonderful peace though as I took time out in my own personal Abbey
Regular visitors may notice some changes in photos. Bodybuilder and Jetskiboy did not want their faces on the blog. Doing stupid things on U Tube or Facebook, that's different, but Dad's blog is not cool.
We are looking for great things from Father Robert this week. Having discussed the real location of Mt Sinai, Christian Olympics, giving communion to minors and homosexual bishops I thought it was time for a change whilst I wrestle with the possibilities of the calling of the Levitical priesthood. The eternal student continues to disappoint with his absence and Cheeky Girl is suffering with another round of bad headaches so our numbers are a little depleted but as the only group continuing through the summer we give ourselves a pat on the back. That said, organisation is a bit lacking as we have still not made our Christmas party plans (2007)
I walked up past the Forest Centre this morning, a very sad sight and the four legged one picked a fight with a Staff so quite an eventful morning
