October 28 Quick UpdateGirl child currently sick with swine flu. Will be back when I can step away from the disinfectant for longer than two minutes without having an OCD nervy spaz ;O) October 03 School DazeTonight Im going to a school reunion, Im expecting to recognize pretty much noone, cos I never do. Its really quite embarrassing. People will introduce me to someone and go 'you remember such and such' and I think 'no' but then make vague 'possibly' noises. It doesnt really matter cos theres a few of us going that I definitely will recognize, and we're sneaking our mate in cos were fairly sure everyone else will be pretending to remember who people are too.
Im expecting alot of this (which actually did make me laugh quite alot cos Id forgotten half of the songs and the fashion was a tad out there)....
September 28 Proverbial rubbishMy mother has a saying for every occassion, in fact so many Im sure she's made half of em up. I was just thinking about sayings and what they really mean.
For example:
Too many cooks spoil the broth - get the hell out of my kitchen, youre in the way
Let sleeping dogs lie - Im sleeping off a hang over, wake me and I may bite you
A stitch in time saves nine - Im smug that you didnt see that coming
Many hands make light work - If we do this together it'll take just as long but there's gonna be wine so we wont care
A fool and his money are soon parted - You fell for what??
A house divided against itsself cannot stand - You really should have checked that wasnt a supporting wall before you decided your house should be open plan
A little of what you fancy does you good - Go on eat the cake, youre fat already
A person is known by the company he keeps - Your friends are eejits ergo....
Charity begins at home - Im tight and Im keeping all my shit for myself
Blood is thicker than water - Im a serial killer and I can prove that
Empty vessels make the most noise - I see Daf posted another blog....
September 27 Finallymanaged to watch this without blubbing. And seeing as how I love it so much thought Id have another wack at putting it to music cos I didnt really like the first vid I made for it. Cant understand why it took me so long to work out Mercutio is gay though! ;O)
September 23 Unconscionably Early or Fashionably Late.... I wonder if you can get vibration white finger from typing on a desk thats shaking cos the bass on your media player is so loud? Been playing on Audacity again, which is a wonderful remixing toy (and free to download if anyone's interested). The result of today's effort currently on media player, although it's only really slightly tweaked cos the original was really rather good (and if its not your cuppa tea you know where the Esc key is ;O)
Not sleeping again, so although the temptation at five this morning was to type a thoroughly nonsensical blog, instead I chucked this little slide show of Jack Vettriano pics onto Youtube, cos I love his paintings.
Anyway, its a gloriously sunny day today and the temptation is too much. Im off out!
September 20 Memory lane.Yesterday we pur chased a new printer for the boychild to print out his homework on, as Vista in it's infinite window decided it really didnt like the one we had, and the school in its infinite wisdom has decided last year they spent far too much on printing so theyre never doing it again no not ever. I do wonder what the money in that school goes on. Im thinking scratch cards. But anyway, technology being what it is, its not just a printer it also scans and copies and all that gubbins, and I suspect if I could only find the right bit in the instructions it would make me a cuppa tea.
So this afternoon Ive been playing nice scanning some old photos (taken with real film many moons ago) onto my puter, and doing a minimal amount of cropping and tidying. Thought Id blog a few of my faves.
This first one is pretty much my fave pic I ever took of Taryn, cos although shes usually cheesy grin girl, I love the slightly serious look on her face and the way the sun catches her.
A very young Daniel being a cowboy although I reckon he looks more like a Maverick type card player.
Tat with Dan when he was only a week or so old
This next one we got taken professionally for the grandfolks
And last but not least, in the olden days when my kids were really little, you couldnt get all these ready made birthday cakes you can now. Ive hunted about for a picture of a particularly pissed off looking Thomas the Tank engine cake I made once but can I hell find it, so youll have to settle for this one of my pirate cake. I have to say I was rather pleased with the result, although the actual cake in the middle was the shape of a bowling bowl and of about the same consistancy.
September 14 The dog ate my homework.So for those of you who dont know, my husband is a driving instructor. We currently have a pupil who hasnt actually had a lesson since May. Now instead of just cancelling til further notice, she is ever hopeful that she will find the time/money to fit in a lesson next week. So every week she books a lesson and every week she cancels it. The reason I mention this is we keep a record of why people cancel lessons and her texts have gotten more inventive as the weeks have gone on ....

My mam has told me that I have to go to Newcastle to buy supplies for college (notebooks and that ) I dont know how long Ill be so can I text you later in the week when I have my time table to arrange a new day.
Something else that amused me today, Girlchild and I were talking about the legend of the ghost in the little castle down the road from me. Now I dont believe in ghosts, but Im sure something quite horrid did happen to an unfortunate woman way back when. We both agree that the beginning of the story is that the Lord of the castle caught her carrying on with one of the blokes from the local town. At this point I heard he chucked her over the battlements, where as girl child heard she was chucked down a well. The best we could come up with was that he chucked her over the battlement into the well. Must have been a hell of a shot and the mental image nearly made me spit my tea out ( I am a sick puppy).
Anyway Im about to have a jellybean sugar rush so I should probably go.... Have a great Monday folks!
