Only 8 hours to Go.

I managed 8 hours of work last week and I'm up to 2 this week already and it's only Monday! My aim is to equal one working day of Spooks. I wasn't idle though. I came home in time for coffee and had time to make date scones (Kiwi as) to take to lunch at Maggies. We had a great blether and I got home in time to take Meg to the optician - she has not worked very hard at her eye excercises, but has still manage to improve her problem by a 25%. The optician has done a deal with her to only excercise once a day before breakfast to improve by 10% more in July. I have done a deal with her that if she doesn't improve by 10%, she pays the $30 fee. That should get it done.
The day had started very wet, so I thought that would get me off the run with the boys. Unfortunately it cleared beautifully and they were waiting for me when I got back from the opticians (actually they were up a fir tree trying to dislodge the rugby ball). A wee run became 1hr and 10mins as Anne came too. She is a hard task master, but the boys got a 2nd wind and really enjoyed it.
I rattled out something for everyone to eat (Smithy is here as she doesn't get Desperate Housewives at her house), then I went to badminton. I missed the first 40 shots and then suddenly managed to hit back and it was good fun. There were too many people there, though and I'll give it another week or two before I decide if it's for me.

I am grateful for an enjoyable day.
I am grateful that I managed to get tickets for Finn and I for the France v All Blacks game in Dunedin on the 13th June. We will take Spook to the airport, Finn will play his game against Wakatipu, and we will head south. Meg will catch up with her friend Kate.
