Monday 3rd November 2008

My first day back to work was as much fun today as you would expect - struggling to get out of bed in the morning, battling through horrendous traffic, and finding out that very little of the work you left others to complete last week were even started!


OK, breathe.......


Still, it was nice to come home tonight to be faced with Luca slamming the front door shut in my face!





What a charmer eh? See the damage to my nose above - hope it repairs as well as Luca's face has been. I've seen a slight difference already in his skin over the last few days, so fingers crossed things progress forward in this manner. I'll take another photo tomorrow to show the contrast between now and then.
As I type I'm listening to a stand up gig by an American comedian I discovered last week - Daniel Tosh. Have a search for him, alongside Ray Romano it's the funniest stand up show I've heard this year.
Before I sign off (although no rush as Carole's transfixed to "Spooks" on TV so it's probably best I stay quiet in my cubby hole till it's finished or else I may enrage the fire breathing dragon who will rain her fury upon the earth.....Or she may just ask me to do the dishes) I'd best make mention of next years proposed holiday. Would anyone mind delaying it about a week or so? We're a little worried about the contiguousness of the holiday and Luca's next laser appointment in late February. Although enough time should elapse between the two for there to be no problem, we'd obviously rather keep the two as far apart as possible. The doctors prefer we keep Luca away from sun for as long after the surgery as possible to minimise the chances of scarring.
And finally before I go, just a reminder that we are now just over two weeks away from Caroles birthday - her 40th. I know, I thought it was her 30th too but there you go. I thought it best to point out now to save any unnecessary violence, I think cards remarking on the fact that this is indeed her 40th will not be gratefully received and may be returned in a rather forceful manner.
**Useless fact of the day - there are many advantages to being 40, with main points including that your supply of brain cells is finally down to manageable size and there is nothing left to learn the hard way**
