...Count Your blessings Not... Your Sorrows
We've had some rain lately with more predicted so perhaps the stories about El Nino finally ending have some truth in them. I wasn't very confident when I first heard the rumours, with day after day of no rain, and my yard a dust-bowl. The weather bureau says there's a greater-than-even chance of above-normal rainfalls and below-normal temperatures for the south and west of the country. We've had terrible thunderstorms to go with the rain, and lots of blackouts, so I've had to spend a good deal of time re-setting all the clocks at home. There's always a flip-side!
Tonight Alex is doing his homework and it's a poster to advertise Central Australia. I've been helping him and we're both of us learning a bit more about the Red Centre. I went through the Centre once when I was about 13 but only saw the red sand along the highway. On Monday Alex is going to the Art Gallery in Wagga for an art workshop. I've organised an RDO so I can drive him over, and I'll probably get the car serviced while I wait for him.
Work has been busy as usual and I run around the hallways always in a big rush. My office is at the front of the building, but I do the work for the building guys out the back, so it's backwards and forwards all day. Good exercise though, and I need it because I sit at the computer most nights. I'm starting to get rolls where last year there were none. One of these days I'll get serious about some exercise and do something about it.
Carly hates me talking about her on the internet so I'll say no more, except that she's happy and healthy, and has been working occasionally so now she has her own money. Thank God!! because teenage girls can be expensive!!! (She'll hate to read that!)
Cricket finishes this Saturday (yes!!), but Friday is sign-up day for football. I tell you, it never ends. There might be a week or two between one ending and the other finishing. I can only hope.
