yay, Jaspen! There is hope for the rest of us, perhaps... Actually, there is, cos last night I went to get chicken, came home after an afternoon out and told DP that I was physically exhausted...he cooked! And it was a brilliant meal, much better than anything I could have done with that chicken. It's always the way, though. I'll cook, but DP is a much better cook, so we eat better when he does it!
Oscar is still asleep...
Was going to see my horse again cos it's heading to 25 degrees...however it's not a necessity cos he has light rugs on, so I think I'll avoid being blown from Lysterfield to Sorrento with this blowy northerly and find another pastime...Glad I took the dog for a walk yesterday after I fed my horse cos today is not going to happen for him. At least I can rest from yesterday's efforts.
I might heed the SES's warnings and move the outdoor furniture to safe positions and bring in my washing before nappies end up wrapped around the neighbours' goat...
Daycare - I just couldn't relax if Oscar was in care! I took him to my CFA course for gas suits on Wednesday night and my GF (fellow firefighter) took him around the host fire station, cos DP was also donning suits...you think I could stop looking at the door? Well, she did come back and I could hear him crying...hunger cries...I couldn't get out of that gas suit quick enough - whilst maintaining decontamination protocol, I think I'll pass the assessment next week! Anyway, DP reckons it won't work to bring him next week, but that's cos he's not creative enough to think of solutions to fit Oscar into these things Anything I can't take Oscar to at this stage I figure I just shouldn't be doing. At least with the horse riding I can take him to the property and if it comes to it, get one of the mummies to hold him while I have a quick ride. I can also bring the pram and walk him to sleep before doing a pram transfer and just stop riding when he wakes up. It's been done by many a mummy rider before, so I'll find a way.
I suppose if I had not been feeling so wrecked yesterday I could have thought about meeting up with Rory and Bathsheba...but it's only just occurred to me that I could have done that! Oh, well, next time.
Might check on that monkey now...
