sick of it all

“Most family photo albums are a form of propaganda, where the family looks perfect and everyone is smiling: we try to create fabrications about who we are.”  That’s a quote from here (see we still read the british papers) and it’s prompted me to remind you we aren’t living a gilded life here (although it is pretty good most of the time)

anyway, the title of this post isn’t really what we feel, although i did have the day off work today as i had a stinking cold and stomach upset.  it’s either one of the numerous lurgies which are going round at the moment, or detox withdrawal symptoms from chocolate and fizzy drinks (i haven’t had either since sunday).  i did manage to do a couple of hour’s work this afternoon though.

one advantage of being at home was i could observe jane going about her business.  she went to school then went round to her friends house for coffee which turned in to some random finger cleaning and nail painting session.  so that was nice.

then she was back here for lunch then went back to school for two more lessons then back here again for our house inspection. we passed the test, and the estate agent lady even offered to go halves on getting someone round to cut the trees and bushes in the garden which was a bit of a result as we expected to have to pay for it ourselves.

then this evening after skyping and tea and violin and piano practices i went off for a church band practice which was good despite me feeling pretty grim.  meanwhile jane hosted the church prayer meeting here which had twice the amount of people as the time before.  excellent.

now it’s now.  i’m planning on going to work tomorrow but perhaps come home a bit early.
