What happened today?
Hi! Are you a new or recent visitor to my blog? I hope you stick around and have a bit of a read. To make it easier to keep up to date with new content, please subscribe to my RSS feed. Of course, feedback is always appreciated and leaving a comment is a great way for me to come and check out your site.
Here are some things that happened to me today:
- I found that, like me, everyone else likes to look at other people’s messy work areas and that most people are divided into “oh my god how terrible” or “mine’s WORSE”
- I did a big clean up of the house (alas, not the aforementioned messy workroom) and took pictures of Jack and Emma’s rooms to document it. Jack’s room is a mess again already, how surprising. I will post the pics soon. I love their rooms but they are rarely tidy.
- We had one of Jack’s preschool friends, Mohammed, over to visit for the first time (hence the aforementioned clean up of the house) and his mum and two little brothers. It was very nice with the kids all playing and hardly a tussle over toys. I don’t know his mum terribly well (we small-talked at preschool a little bit) but I think maybe we could become friends.
- We discovered that the aforementioned preschool friend lives literally a hop, skip and a jump away from us. How cool is that for the kids? They are off to big school (kindy) in, gulp, a week and a half and I was suddenly imagining the boys walking to school together when they are older, with Mohammed picking Jack up on the way and then dawdling their way to school while talking the nonsense boys of that age do when they get together.
- After their visit, we then walked them home to see just how close they were to us (and noticed that they can see the corner of our house from a spot in their front garden) and were amazed. Then Mohammed’s mum Hannan, offered for Jack to stay and play while I went and did a few things I had to do (go to the fabric shop for green ribbon) and leaving him by himself at a friend’s house made me realise that with Jack off to school soon, I will really need to start letting go of him. sniff sniff. I’m sure there will be a more emotional blog entry on this on the 6th Feb.
- Just before going to the aforementioned fabric shop I tripped up on my own thong - haha! say the Americans as they all fall about laughing hysterically, but no, you lot can translate that as “I tripped up on my own flipflop” instead. I fell really hard on my left hand and skinned my knees, and because I like to be a big sook when I hurt myself I now have my wrist bandaged up. Poor me. I seem to be managing to type though… better not show Paul this long entry so I can get maximum sympathy. Coincidentally our cat also has her arm bandaged as she dislocated her elbow, but that’s another story (with pics) for another day.
- At the aforementioned fabric shop, while chatting with the sales staff at the counter, I suddenly heard a huge screech of tyres, and turned around to see the automatic doors just closing and FREAKED, imagining Emma had just run into the street and been hit or nearly hit by a car! As I got halfway to the door I heard the staff calling that Emma was right where I had left her, playing with some toys they had given her. That was a horrible feeling.
- After calming down from the aforementioned incident-that-wasn’t, I happened to look at their sewing classes brochure and then asked them if they wanted someone (me) to take a Handbag Sewing Class and they were very interested. YAY
- That’s about it - my aforementioned hand is hurting quite a bit now.
- If you are bored you can guess (or count) how many times I said “aforementioned” in that post and then you can work out how many letters that is and then work out how much less my hand would hurt if I hadn’t typed that word so many times. It was fun though.
- And here’s a pic just because:

Nichola - it’s all true though! I was in a silly mood when I typed it - probably because my hand was hurting and affecting my brain (poor me)
