…. you get invited to your national airline’s coporate golf day!
When you ask how it is you were invited they say, and I quote from the email, “We invited you as a high level frequent flyer and also from our records we were of the understanding that you were a keen golfer”
C’mon March 28th 🙂
Only 1351 days after we moved in to our house and I have completed the beading around the kitchen joinery to hide the small gap between the joinery and wooden flooring. It was only 13 sections ranging from an inch to about 4 feet in length that needed gluing to the joinery. Unfortunately some of the very thin wood had warped slightly and so a lot of time was spent on my knees pressing bits of wood down that seemed to have an aversion to other bits of wood……
Max was walking to school a couple of weeks ago on the walking school bus and as he neared school he and one of his friends (along with parents) were asked if they wanted to pose for a photo. The photographer was from our local newspaper The Norwester and they were doing a story on walking to school rather than driving.
The funny thing is that although Max regularly walks to school it was David’s first day on the “bus” 🙂 Here’s the whole story.
Elliot must have been a wee bit tired last night.
Here’s the timeline that occurred yesterday:
15:30: Elliot is as grumpy as hell so Vic sends him off to bed for a nap
16:45: I get home early from work and head upstairs to bring him down
17:00: After 15 minutes of a stroppy almost three year old whining that he wants to go back to bed I put him in his PJ’s, clean his teeth and put him back into bed
22:00: I just know he’s going to be up early so I head off to bed
05:05: Elliot wakes up in a really good mood and he and I head down for some breakfast
Yep, into bed at 3:30 in the afternoon with hardly any lunch and no dinner – what a freak 🙂
One more hotel room
All I want is to be home
Boys, wife, homelife yes
No I don’t have one but I like the way that some bloke from a law firm in Australia talks about the exclusive deals that Apple makes iPhone users and providers sign.
“It would be like Ford deciding that from now on all of the cars they produce can only use be used with petrol from Shell.”
“If you fill your car up with fuel from BP the ignition system will detect that and shut down the car.”

I went through my diary today and worked out that I have been away for 78 nights in the last year (doesn’t include day trips)….. I think that’s quite a lot.
So here I am stuck in Auckland on a training course for the week missing Max’s first full week at school 🙁
Luckily I get to speak to the whole family on a regular basis so I’ve managed to keep in touch with him to a degree. He’s started to bring homework home and at the moment it’s a set of early learning books called “readers” which only have 3-4 words per page. I always call in the morning and Vic says that when he hears the phone he races downstairs to get his latest book and then we put him on speaker phone so he can read to me – it’s very cool 🙂
I was also away for his second day at school last friday and when I asked Vic to email me with how it went this is what she sent:
As we were walking up the school drive Max said “mummy I can do this myself” but I told him I have to walk him to his classroom.
He hung up his bag, put his Phoenix cap in, took out his journal bag, rushed into his classroom, put the journal bag into the box, grabbed his school hat out of his tote tray and said “I’m going to play now”. I hung around in the playground till the bell went but he ran straight past me and into his classroom. Looked in through the window – he put his hat away and sat down on the mat. Guess he’s got it sorted!
On his second day!
Oh well – back to my course I guess……
