Just a brief update today, "sans" photographs again. Carole has been called into court on jury duty. It was originally due to begin on Monday, but with her presence not having been required thus far we thought her responsibilities had passed. However, she received notification yesterday afternoon to report to the court at 10am this morning. An intriguing situation, taking into account the high profile muder in Aberdeen city centre in the early hours of Sunday morning. It would be gripping if this was indeed the case, and I'll report further this evening (where I may even post some Luca pictures)
With Carole being called in on her day off from work - I think the correct term for this situation would be "sod's law" - Luca was collected by his Granny last night. She has a delivery arriving today, and with Ross's inability to wake during daylight she had to take Luca home with her last night to ensure delivery wasn't missed. I was a little perturbed by the situation obviously - it feels curious not having Luca under the same roof - but thankfully won't miss much time with him anyway. I usually leave the house in the morning for work long before he awakens, so with Gran dropping him back this evening routine will only alter slightly.
As always, I'll look forward to his greeting of "Go away Daddy, no like you no more"
Actually, I kind of jest, but on the occasions where he is given the chance to spend time with Granny or Daddy there is no contest!
With Luca's absence last night, Carole and I were able to eat dinner at a reasonable hour, and turn the volume of the TV up without fear of wakening and enraging the beast. It's a curious situation every other evening, as over time we've adapted ourselves to watching television with the sound significantly lower than most other households. As such our auditory senses are almost bat like now!
We slothed throughout much of the evening - both still coughing every twenty seconds with this astoundingly persistent bug - and watched six (6!) episodes of the American seies "The Big Bang Theory". It's a new (ish) comedy about a group of geeky physicists, and is the funniest thing we've seen in quite some time. My only concern is that I get EVERY geeky reference that is made during each show (Star Wars, comics, Warcraft, etc, etc). Does this finally confirm the fact I am a geek? Carole would argue this theory has long since been proven.
I sit here today with my skin still imparting a temperature comparable to that of the surface of the sun. Our day in the sunshine in Perth at the weekend still causes me discomfort, though at least I now look more like beef stock than a tomato now.
Looking forward, we are now merely 32 days from my birthday. I think this is my 47th or somewhere around that figure. What would I like this year? I'd like not to be reminded I'm older than I was.....
