"Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one."
Albert Enstein
I'm 3 quotes down now as I was on sleepover on Friday, knackered last night and didn't understand todays quote which was about ironing and I don't know much about ironing. So I'll go with Alberts quote for today. I'll try to remember that reality is an illusion, when reality is looking a bit harsh. That might help.
The reality tonight is that I am still knackered but have enjoyed a busy weekend of work. The children have been really busy too, so it hasn't mattered that I have been working.
2 days of snowboarding for Finn, a party on Friday night for Meg, a new cleaning job for her on Saturday morning, the cake to frost and then the next party which continued on until Sunday night. So she certainly didn't notice I wasn't around, but I did stop work long enough to help her finish her cleaning work and frost the cake. Spook had a busy weekend of driving us all around and managed a cycle race and a training run. I have managed to eat a lot of crisps and chocolate, so training not going very well. The Ben Race entry forms came out last night and we got them in the post tonight in time for Mondays post. It will be a heavy post bag for oor Postie Jim. It is likely that all 500 entries will arrive on the same day. I wonder if it would have been worth a bag of sweets to have J put ours on the top of the pile. Naaaah. Incorruptible, that man!
The earth moved for Spook and I at 6.06 this morning. I hadn't realised he was awake when the rumble, shudder, rumble occured, but heard him mutter "earthquake" from the depths of the covers. 3.6 on the richter scale, I think. Not quite as dramatic as our 7.8 in NZ, but we were quite pleased to both have felt it. The children were disappointed to miss it, as it is quite a phenomenon, even when small.
