Eleanor is sick. The doctor said she has an ear ache among other things.
I set aside this week to prepare for school but it hasn't worked out. Yesterday I was in quite a bad mood about this, but today I'm slightly more philosophical (but still stressed).
Eleanor is asleep now so I have time to do this. Time is a tricky customer. One day the little girl who clings to me for comfort will be an old woman.
But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near:
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast Eternity.

I spent yesterday dealing to my Eleanor. She's a lot older and is actually a male, but still needed me to cling to. We achieved a good outcome. Don't worry about the old lady thing, JY, parenthood is for life... and the pay really stinks.
Thanks. You've really cheered me up.
Why don't you do school work at home? No jokes about leaving your coloured pencils at school thanks.
Mud can make you prisoner and
the plains can make you dry.
Snow can burn your eyes but
only people make you cry.
Hell is made for comin' from and
dreams for goin' to,
which, with any luck, will
never come true
I was born under a
wand'rin star,
a wand'rin, wand'rin star.
Bloomin' heck. It's a bit early to hit the plonk isn't it Richard?
Sorry, I should have signed that as Erin Htac, Professor of Aztec Artefacts, University of Arse.
5.42pm is an acceptable time to hit the plonk. Where in the hell did you get the Aztec thing from?
BTW I have also posted "insightful" comments on the Penguin blog about Ceremony.
I just though Htac sounded a bit 'Aztecian". Any alternative suggestions? I'll look at the Penguin blog. And wanna lunch at Super in Island Bay???
Are you inviting me to lunch, or Luap?
Take Luap to a malay restaurant and he'll be happy.
It was Luap, sorry. Who seems to be ignoring me!
Ythac would be the acceptable form for this blog. Still sounding Central American. Super sounds super.
I prefer to refered to as Nhoj.
Yes, I know, Yhtac... sorry.
Get it right! So wanna just meet there at 12.30ish with the bub? Can I call you Nhojy? Or would that be Ynhoj???
Yes.
No.
No.
See you at 12.30.
