Broken Rib(s)

Went to the doctor this morning, and it looks like I've broken a rib or two from the coughing.


And of course there isn't anything that can be done about it - "take 2 paracetamol 3 times a day"

Joy.

nothing like a lung infection

Well, it sounds so much worse than a cough!

(on anitbiotics - as is Louise, and Amelia)

Another warm day

Nearly through the first month of spring - and two days so far where the temperature has crossed 30degrees.

Unfortunately, the pool isn't warmed up yet - 14 degrees is a little too bracing!

Still ill - and now everyone has it

It's now wednesday - I'm back at work after two days off. Everyone has the 'cough' - Ameila is suffering more than Callum, and isn't sleeping well (neither are we).

morning and lunch at Sydney Olympic Park - Bicentennial Park

We spent this morning and some of lunch time at Bicentennial Park today. And felt the wrath of the first hot day of Spring - 31 degrees, making it hotter than most of last Summer!

I'm suffering from a bad cold/cough, which isn't helping.

Pics as promised

A fresh new look...

But using a standard template that everyone else uses...

car keys...

Saturday 30th August - I give Callum the car (and house) keys whilst we are shopping in Woolworths. Unfortunately, I don't notice that he has left them on a shelf somewhere, in Woolworths.

Friday 5th September - I pick them up at Woolworths; a kind hearted shelf stacker found them, noticed the video rental tag on them, called the rental store who called me with her details.

Phew.

(new blank key = $77
New centrol locking fob = $213
Fitting = $50 per hour ~ 2 hours
Plus key cutting ~ $50)

Spring has sprung...

Horray - today is the first day of Spring (depending on your definition of course - Spring equinox isn't until September 22nd).
