Good to see you mucks
Yeah, powers still... temperamental
Bummer I missed Ady's Party
Hope he has a cool holiday though, wouldn't mind galivanting round Egypt myself
Most of this last week (& the one to come) has been used up with 'pre-maternal hypershock'.
John's mother is coming down to visit this comming weekend & EVERYTHING has to be spotless (John even went over the back paddock with a weedeater yesturday & I spent the weekend cleaning washing walls & ceilings & ornaments & lids & cleaning out secret spider webs (left the spiders though so that's ok) Not to mention carting branches & huge wool bags bags of green matter, a percentage of which had been my garden the day before... The ones he got with the weedeater will probably regrow, but when he's weeding he sometimes has a bit of trouble telling the difference between weeds & my plants (if they're not flowering at the time then they must be weeds) So normaly I do the garden. But he sneaked in while I was scrubbing out the corners in window sills. Mind you, he achieved more than I would've thought physically possible over the weekend so I sure aint going to complain over some plants I can replace.
So right now I'm in a state of chronic exhaustion with the joyous knowledge that there is still a week of this ahead of me & that, even then, the first thing she'll do when she arrives is criticise. Both John & his Daughter have told me that. & that nothing is ever good enought for her....
If it was my mum I reckon I'd've adopted a more "Take me as you find me" attitude if that was the case. But it's John's mum & it matters to him so I'll hoe in
