I was driving today thinking I needed to post in here again, and voila! Mel's beaten me to it!
Nic - whilst it's not ideal, it sounds like you've got a game plan forming and that's gotta make life infinitely easier.
Rory - sounds like it was a great day yesterday! I nearly cursed that I didn't go because just as I was ready to leave for my riding club lunch Tallarah threw up an entire feed (after a coughing fit made her gag ) and I started all over again (minus the potato salad making, I had that sorted) and got there after most people had eaten...sigh! Anyway, I really am sorry for myself that I had a clash of events, cos that cake sounds awesome
Bath - The job sounds really exciting! And right in your element, too - intelligent people, subject matter you can engage with, in the city...so, tell us when you get it!!
Mel - I don't mind at all - I have no doubt that T will be a camera tart like Oscar Oscar really does seem as much at ease on land as in water - I reckon I'll try the local pool on a hot day soon, cos I won't have to worry about him AND give T some water time. Your pool is just so beautiful, like the rest of your home! We had a fantastic afternoon and Oscar fell asleep before the end of Orange St...and STAYED asleep for the rest of the night!! He kept talking about Chelsea and Marley the next day - he really gets along so well with girls (and seems to have an 'older girl' thing...hmmm...). Marley is such a cute little clown - a clotheshorse clown, girl after my own heart, he he! Thanks so much for a fantastic afternoon and scrummy lunch Oh, I got home and realised I left the muslins behind What a dummy!
I think a Melb Junie catch up is in order for Jan again. What do you think?
Oscar has been sensitive this week and melting down when denied arbitrary requests. I know why, though - he's been sidelined for the whole week and has watched back to back DVD's in order for us to get done what we needed for this Open house thing. Now that the first one is over with he can have my attention back - I have felt so bad at the end of the day but we were really under the pump, on top of Tallarah's cold, my damaged nipples (it's thrush! Confirmed today, explains why the cracks weren't healing) and Oscar manifesting the neglect. We had 2 offers, it became one and the other one fell through on finance We've got some other interested people coming through before this Saturday's open, so it would be nice to have to only go through one more Open. Hoping, also, to do a drive out West Gippy way to look at properties on Saturday adn then the real estate agent can take separate appointments through all day long (we had to vacate home again on Sat cos someone came back with her partner). Exciting times. What a year.
