Back to normality

Submitted by on

After several weeks of trying to do everything yet accomplishing nothing (or so it seemed), this week we've turned ourselves around and started living better, starting with a stronger separation of church and state, er, I mean work and home. We started off with a trip to the chiropractor, picked up breakfast, then spent some time painting the bedroom together. Now I'm going to work for a few hours and later will take a break away from it, then work some more - rinse, repeat.

Happy Birthday Lego!

Submitted by on

Lego was 50 years old yesterday. I was a huge Lego fan as a child, my parents would get me a new set for my birthday every year, and over the years it built up into a huge collection of pieces. We've passed this love of Lego on to our two children, who both have great fun playing with their duplo, especially our eldest who makes some awesome spaceships and airplanes (and robots, and dinosaurs...).

Almost got the Highland Games

Submitted by on

The local New World Celts and associated Celtic groups had their annual games over the weekend. Yesterday we decided to take a brake from the insanity and pop over for a while, only due to the overly apt weather (foggy, cold, damp) my asthma was going insane so I had to go home. My wife and kids had a great time, though, they met up with a friend of ours and her boyfriend (who's big in the NWC) so had company.

Water is great, but not on your floor

Submitted by on

When you awaken out of bed at 12:30am to discover that your feet are wet when hitting the ground - panic. That's what I discovered last night, after having only gone to bed at 11:30pm. The water leaked from the kitchen through the entire house and onto the back porch / Florida room leaving around half an inch of water everywhere. Thankfully two inlaws came over to help so by 4:30am it was almost all dried up.
