No Cards.

It was a beautiful morning and although freezing outside, our borrowed thermostat read 6 degrees inside, so that's not so bad!

I had no cards today as I was working. However, the work only lasted 2.5hrs as the original job is not happening now until next week, so we tidied up the big house on the hill and sooked up all the dead flies. My life has not been a waste. But I had to make up the rest of the day myself and justified it by food shopping, securing a good deal on a snowboard for Finn (happy Finn), getting Meg's form into the Kahu Youth Club, her to yoga and nourishing the teenage mother-to-be as she is clearly eating for about 5. We thought she had worms - how naive. I am using her as an example of what can happen out there in the big bad world if one is not careful.

Spook had a very pleasant working day - always pleasant when he doesn't have to poop scoop. He picked up a package in Cromwell and had coffee in the Mall and then called home and had a coffee with Mary and I as we had just finished work. He's on his 4 days off now, but not sure how much of it we'll spend together. Josh had talked about going out with him tomorrow. If not, I may have to make up some cards for Spook to choose from.

Meg has 2 friends coming over to stay tomorrow night - Vicky and Smithy, and Finn has to stay sober and go to bed early as he has a match against the big, bad boys of Maniototo on Saturday. Then he has to feature in a documentary Vicky and Meg are making about Gallipoli, which features a donkey - played by Finn and Vicky's wee brother Jack. I think the rugby match will be easier.
