And still I wait with somewhat bated breath for BT to enter into my life and install a phone line in my abode. It has been some time now as you are aware. I am trying to remain positive but I won’t lie I do get irritated when they send me e mails, I think telling themselves that they’re doing a great job, informing me of the install date. If they perhaps spent as much time installing stuff as they do on pointless e mails then I think the bloody line would have been in by now.
Anyway that’s my gripe for now. Today I have the oldest of my offspring in a fine mood, whining about everything and particularly about her lack of freedom. A strong sense of déjà vu prevails within me as I remember saying these exact words to my parents back then. Freedom she says. Just how much freedom should an eleven year old get? Not much would be my view but then I admit to being a bit old fashioned now and again. How much freedom should she have when we live in a brand new town which she or we barely knows? Just like my parents do I will throw this in her face when she has children of her own one day. Lovable little shit she can be at times!
From entertaining the Parish Council last night I later morphed into the tooth fairy as the youngest lost his second front tooth. Like a coloured from the flats or Wentworth he is today. I almost forgot to be honest (to be the toothfairy), which would have been cataclysmically catastrophic this morning because he wouldn’t have understood that the tooth fairy hadn’t delivered as usual. He was a bit surprised though that the fairy had found him all the way over here in the UK! Anyway, all and sundry at soccer training were enthralled by his news of the windfall he had discovered beneath his pillow this morning. Except I think the coach who was trying to, well, coach them.
Tomorrow (Sunday) we shall wander across the dales to the welsh coast, I don't expect that we will get a sun tan while we are there but I haven’t been there and it doesn’t look too far on the map. I know, famous last words but anyway we shall give it a try.
I am still using the library to write this stuff and since they will be closed tomorrow, this blog, for tomorrow has been pre written and scheduled to publish itself – clever stuff this blogspot thingy!
Until then and until tomorrow. Be safe
