Life
Had a good week.
Amy & Kieran stayed at May's place in Campbelltown on Monday night. So I went to the movies to see Million Dollar Baby which was quite a good flick. What is the world coming to Clint Eastwood has discovered a sensitive side. Tuesday I got up early & went to Clovelly for a swim. What bliss. Water was a little dirty from recent storms but the water temp was pleasant.
Took Wednesday off training as Amy had a day off work & we all went down to Bronte Beach for fish & chips for dinner. It is good to have the flexibility of a rest day to slot in where needed.I hit my head on a low hanging branch while walking the dogs late at night. No stitches required but just bled a bit.
Friday traffic was horrendus coming home as Waratahs game at SFS . Kieran fell asleep on the way home but was cool when he woke up.
I better get going. I still have the 2nd half of the StKilda game to watch. I know they lost but still enjoy watching them . Footy seaon not far away. Also the house looks like a bomb hit it. Kieran was throwing balls everywhere & pulled out all the dog & cat food & dog leads. Amy's new job at Balko Hills is really starting to pick up & unfortunately she is flat out . What a contrast to me. Hopefully she won't be too late home as it is a bit tough on Kieran . Thankfully she has Monday & Tuesday off . Kieran's vocabularly continues to grow . He is really keen to try new words & will repeat words back to you. He gets a bit frusturated when he knows what he is trying to say but we don't understand him. The boy loves his ice cream . He goes to the freezer & says ice & he just hoes into it.
Till next week.
