I still feel like a teddy bear with googly eyes this morning. After staying up until after 3am on Monday morning (and having to get up for work at 6am) I collapsed into bed before 10pm last night, and it was almost literally the cliche of "sleeping before your head hits the pillow". My only concern was that Sima had sneaked up onto the bed with me, and there's no way I'd have woken up even if I'd rolled on top of her. However, she didn't seem any flatter this morning, so I guess she must have stayed alert as I flapped around the bed - or Carole rescued her when she came to bed!
As such my memories of yesterday are already vague to say the least. I do remember taking some photo's of the field I walk through on my way to work (not sure why, I think that proves I was nigh on sleepwalking) and spending the day grumping. Still, working days will always end eventually, and Carole and Luca are always a good tonic.
On Sunday I was cooking (nay burning down the kitchen, natch) again, much to Caroles chagrin. However, it was half decent - a type of chicken and bean salad with rice - although my "appetizer" was interesting. I baked fruit bread which wasn't quite as light and fluffy as intended. Always one to look at the positives, it is at least deputising as a cheap doorstop now.
Carole found out yesterday she's going back on the on-call rota at work. Good and bad news, bad for obvious reasons but good as it's extra money coming in. With my having received a raise again a month or two ago allied to this it's good timing in a recession, and these dual factors will obviously help when buying me a Smart Car.
Carole keeps winding me up about this, and I worry sometimes that she's serious...
Luca's new Kindergym classes are just about to start - photo's and update on this soon - but I've found a new accredited activity for him too. It's called "Musical Steps", and although the name is surely descriptive enough, to clarify it's classes for toddlers and pre-schoolers including musical games, playing, singing, etc. I'll ensure I record a number of videos of his singing, purely to play to his first girlfriend.
That said, he's already had his first girlfriend. Though they appear to have broken up already....
I'm dragging Carole to the cinema a couple of times in the next fortnight, as "Star Trek" and "Wolverine" are due to be released. As such babysitters will be required. Ahem, hint, Mum, Dad......That said I don't think Carole's too excited by the prospect of either (granted they are entering geeky territory), and she's more interested in seeing "Angels and Demons" when it comes out next month - the prequel to "The Da Vinci Code". Perhaps Mum may want to see this religious epic too?
And finally, Sima's in the doghouse, figuratively and literally. She ate something funny at the weekend which she then proceeded to throw up all over my crotch. To make matters worse we're pretty certain the something "funny" she had eaten was in fact faeces. Obviously, this was a real pleasure of a present I received from her, for which I was almost as grateful as Kelly was when I presented her with a footspa for her birthday a few years back....
Add this to the fact our home phone isn't presently working due to the fact she chewed through the wire last night, and you can probably make an educated guess at her present popularity at home, or alternatively "maison des damnés"
**Useless fact of the day - Despite the film having not yet been released, the studio who created "Angels and Demons" have already announced a sequel - "The Lost Symbol" - thereby demonstrating how successful the film is likely to be**
