1. Sadly, it is not a shock when the husband is arrested.
2. Little boys carry big thoughts. Mr5 is currently walking around the Fibro taking photos of rooms on his Dad's iPhone. So he 'won't forget'.
3. Uranus rotates totally on its side. Its atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium and methane. Mr8 could tell you more, but I'd probably have to stop him somewhere around about the point at which your eyes glazed over.
4. I know where Keith Urban lives. Doesn't that sound crazy stalker.
5. Mr5 knows all the words to 'Someone like You' by Adele. In the sense that we all know 'all the words' to anything - he fills in the bits he doesn't know by making very emotive, vaguely musical sounds, sliding in a consonant when he remembers one.
6. Chanel No 5 doesn't smell as lovely when it is sprayed around the bathroom by an eight-year-old boy making 'potions'.
7. I really, really, really don't want Lance Armstrong to be guilty. Sigh.
8. Those romance novel manuscripts that I have, stuffed in the back of my filing cabinet, may not be as dead as I thought.
9. Even Telstra has good days. My iPhone, which has never worked properly, will be replaced next week with a shiny new one. One that works. Hopefully.
10. The paid work comes first. Always. So if I'm a little bit sporadic over the next few weeks, blame it on a major time squeeze. That, and packing boxes.
Always with the packing boxes.
What did you learn this week?*
*I may or may not have stolen this idea from Maxabella. I think she used to do it and now she doesn't, but maybe I got that wrong. Either way, I hope that you (and she) will forgive me.

ReplyDeleteI learnt that lasagnes are the most time consuming thankless meal to cook when in your family 2 people like it, 1 is ambivalent and 2 hate it. I never lean though.

ReplyDeleteI've also learned that other people's lessons can make a person laugh out loud. Thanks so much everyone - I needed a laugh today!
ReplyDeleteArrgh! Packing! I should be packing, but finding any excuse I can not to. There have been so many moves! And I agree about the paid work. It always comes first. There isn't that much of it yet, but when I get it gets done and done well.
ReplyDeleteThis week I learnt that I lost my smiles. It's gonna be tough work to get them back.

ReplyDeleteI also know where Keith Urban lives it is right next door to my cousin! and I'm not stalking I'm just visiting family!!!!
Bless Mr5! My two know the words to most of Adele's songs too, they're moody little things.
ReplyDeleteThis week I learned that sometimes it's important to put yourself first for a day, so you have the energy for the next 150 days when you're third or fourth at best.
I know all about packing boxes, it robs you of hours of time ..Especially if you start reflecting as you decide to pack or toss..
ReplyDeleteI learned something I wish I hadn't but I am not alone.
I learnt that sometimes life throws you lemons but you can't let the little things in life bring you down you just have to hold your head high and keep pushing forward and hope that one day it will all come together... when its meant to.
ReplyDeleteNo 2. I did that when I was around the same age.
ReplyDeleteNo 7. Ditto
What else have I learned? Time and patience. The more time you have the more patient you can be.
