Welcome to family, friends and visitors. Here you will find interesting (hopefully) pictures of my part of the world, news of our household and probably, long ramblings about anything that catches my interest.

Windy.

It was great to see blues skies once more. Thank goodness neither of us had to get up early as we are both feeling a bit under the weather. Peter twisted his back digging gravel, a while back and it hasn't been getting better. He finally gave in and went to the chiropractor yesterday. After getting his back crunched he was advised to take things easy for a couple of days to let it settle down so for the first time since he has been working there he has called in sick. He works for an american company and the workers have few rights, no union and after about 5 days off sick you are called in to HR to explain why. People are so frightened to take time off that they go to work even when they are ill spreading their viruses amongst everyone else. I too have finally succumbed to a cold and felt pretty grot this morning. It was really good to be able to get a couple of extra hours of sleep. It still took a couple of cups of coffee (decaff - so any hot drink would have done), pain killers and some chocolate before I felt properly awake. As it's only a cold I'm sure I'll feel much better tomorrow though my voice may take longer to recover. 
Being Wednesday it was a double staff-meeting day but I do enjoy working with the little ones down in the reception class.
