Happenings

Time seems to be passing by very quickly these days. At this rate I’m going to look up one day and be old and grey and wonder where the time went. I guess thats what kids do to you. You spend so much time firefighting that just getting through to the next day with the required amount of sleep seems to be the main focus.

I wish I could say that we’d had the required amount of sleep this weekend but our fuckwit neighbours again decided to come back from the pub on Friday night and ‘rock out’ until 1.30am. Not only that, they decided to do it in the room above where the baby sleeps. Wanks. What goes around comes around though and when he started screaming uncontrollably at 6.30am we made sure he was transported to as many of our rooms as possible to wake the bastards up.

Saturday was spent visiting my parents and Grandparents which turned out to be a very pleasant day indeed. As per usual with a 7 week old, Saturday night was a staying in night. My wife was meant to go out with the girls but experience last week showed us that Sam just won’t settle for me when he is really distressed. We don’t know why my wife can settle him so much more successfully but I appear not to be alone in causing this reaction if the interweb is anything to go by. I’m sure it all gets better in time.

Sunday afternoon my wife went out for brunch with friends and I was left to chill in the house. A few hours of ‘Only Fools and Horses’ on UK Gold fairly recharged the batteries. Only Fools is still a classic series even after 20 odd years and numerous viewings. I always feel good after watching a few episodes.

This week it’s work as usual although Wednesday, Thursday and Friday I am giving training courses in Leeds and Worcester. Should be straightforward enough. It’s really just the travelling which grates after a bit. Due to the weaknesses of the British Rail system I am unable to travel from Leeds to Worcester in anything under 4 hours, even though I am reliably informed that this is a 2 hour drive.

Anyway, nose back to the grindstone.
