h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Off to lunch for 30 mins Greg.............catch you later

you don't mind sharing with my baby clydesdale, do you? he is a very sweet boy

As long as I've got something soft to lay my head on and something to keep me warm............am happy Am very easy to please

Well he's a cuddly but restless sleeper and snores to rattle the walls...right outside our bedroom if we leave him in the house yard

I guess you're feeling a little better with the house out of your worries

Yeah kind of! But really don't want to move ...........it's been my home for over 20 yrs and it's kinda comfortable, if you know what I mean..........am hoping that certain plans I have in motion will come to fruition and maybe I won't have to move after all .......will have enough to buy the ex out and stay put

What's been happening with you? Anything exciting?

no really exciting news...had a lovely Easter with friends and family...my family are all well and happy (well, as happy as a thriteen year old boy can be anyway) kids got good reports for the previous term, Callum has a nice girlfriend (but grumpy because he couldn't see her over the break)...first day back at school today complaining about wearing his blazer Sian is doing well with her new horse her instructor says she has a good seat and as she is tall looks good as well

How's yours?

Nothing much going on over here either I'm afraid! Worked all over the Easter break except for the Easter Monday so wasn't much of a holiday for me Dan went over to Windsor to stay with his sister and her husband and had a thoroughly good time, altho Rob won't take any nonsense from him, being in the army I know all about 14 yr old sons and their hormones by the way mine's on a warning about drinking again

Lorna (bless her) is up to her eyeballs in work for her A'levels, some of which she's due to sit as soon as she gets back from the Easter hols, so lots of stress and angst there!

The ex is getting married again in June, so the kids are being taken for suit fittings etc...........I'm not invited naturally

Altho we have horses, neither of my kids ever showed the least interest in getting on horseback.........they like them well enough but just don't want to ride em! Lorna has her dancing and Dan his sport so they're both happy enough

Callum is into skateboards…he and I are building a halfpipe although this thing will be pretty big and I have to work out somewhere flat, safe and convenient to put it. We have found a vitamin supplement for him that seems to work…moods and health…if we can get him to take them consistently I’m guessing Cal has the same sort of relationship with my brother as Dan and Rob

Give to Lorna…I’m a mature age uni graduate, exams are not fun for anyone and their closests

As for the wedding just imagine what that poor woman is in for

oh well knock-off time...hope to chat next week

so...any stimulating conversations yet?

nope ..........any suggestions?

moved a horse float full of hay on the weekend so am officially a heavy breather (hayfever) any use?

ooooooooooh not had a heavy breather on the phones for a while ..........shame really cos it breaks the night up winding em up

Did you have a good w/e?

funny isn't it as a fad heavy breathing has gone out of style

had a lovely w/e (apart from the hay) just quiet about the house but we have been busy lately especially Annie with Pony Club so it was a little bit of unplanned "us" time to potter and snooze.

you?

Been working all w/e hun so done nothing apart from eat,sleep and work

Apparently it was a lovely sunny warm day today and I missed it as usual

well you just sit back and bask in the warmth of my sunny disposition

actually we are just starting to cool off the best times of year in Brisbane are April and October-November (autumn and spring) when you come to share accomodation with the horse I'll show you

I remember when I lived in S.Africa those months were the best too........similar seasons to you I think?

I'm getting accomodation with the Clydesdale am I? As long as he/she doesn't snore that'll be fine

If you want a laugh, go to my PS and look for a thread called My Penis and I...........it's hilarious in places and worth ploughing thro all the blog

must be southern hemisphere! hot wet humid summers, cold dry windy winters and mild spring and autumn

well he snores but he's very snuggly last few weeks he's been coming to the back door to watch telly with his family..he'd love to be a lap-horse

how's your scheming going? to buy the ex out?

The summers in S.Africa were very hot and dry as I remember with almost sero humidity, but then we were 6000ft above sea level in Sun City

Things are looking hopeful as regards to buying ex out Should know something this week with any luck

Sun City...that was South Africa's version of Milto Keynes wasn't it...a planned community...what was it like?


keep me posted on the buy-out?...I'll shout you a when it goes through
