friday pt 2

ignore the 25th date, it is just after midnight. so to me it is still yesterday. (how's that for an illogical sentence)

as i expected but hoped would not be true no tangable progress... again.]

got one thing posted off though, plus the postman had 2 presents for me. i love it so much when toys turn up on my day off.

i did get my shed roof swept, the gutter cleaned out (well i still need to hose out the last of the gumph) and trimmed some of the overhanging branches. plus i got a section of the house gutter cleaned out before my eldest decided to spring her knee on the trampoline = a trip to hospital. thankfully all seems ok though. the wait at the hospital was going to be multipule hours so my wife brought her home.

i really don't remember being so loud when i used to hurt myself as a kid. she screamed, cried and generaly chucked a complete hissy fit. when i went to touch her leg it was screamimg in pain about her knee followed a sentence later by "i can't feel my knee". i know i chucked more than a few tantrums as a kid but by the age of 13 they were long gone plus when i got injured i may have cried and given the occasional wimper when it realy hurt but i never screamed. i really don't get it. to be honest it really annoyed me. "back in my day..."

back to work tomorrow, not happy. plus i don't agree to working on anzac day, it feels disrespectful to me, service stations and pubs yes, general shopping no. surely you can wait one day for your crap. as a society we really are increasingly driven by instant gratification. i don't think it is a good thing. patience is a usefull thing to know/understand (8 years with basically no progress on my restoration project means that i have to at least say i'm all for patience ).

my thanks to all those who did/are serving and all those who lost family.
