Well yes, I hear you. Updates. I know.
Needless to say, over the last few weeks there have been quite a few things that I have wanted to blog about, not the least being my wonderful boys and their wonderful sports carnival performances, but I have been busy, busy, busy. I even had one post completely composed in my mind, on one of my many drives between here and Dubbo, and would it surprise you to know that it started with me singing "ever had one of those days?". You know, Elvis Presley, G.I. Blues? "Did you ever, you ever have, you ever have one of those, you ever have one of those days???" Don't forget to sing it, go on, I know that you know it, I know that you want to, I know that it is now stuck in your heads, just like it has been in mine for the last week.

Did I ever say that I am an Elvis Presley fan? Not a mad, velvet painting in the lounge room type, just the ordinary love his voice type. And I happen to think that his recent hit , A Little Less Conversation", is indeed a great song. (And yes I do believe that he recorded it out the back of the fish and chip shop in Hamilton where he is alive and well and working over a hot deep fryer).

Anyway, such was the song that was going through my head one day last week as I contemplated the work, travel, soccer, dancing, oval canteen duty etc, that was my week. Trevor was sowing through this whole time (and still is) and I am meant to be cleaning my VERY messy house in time for guests this weekend. The urge to blog when I was feeling so frazzled simply wasn't there. Iam looking forward to the holidays, when Trevor will be finished sowing, I will only work a couple of days, the kids have nothing on except an ENT review in Orange, and.... we are off to Armidale the second week for my grandmother's 80th birthday. Now, I had best get back to cleaning and deciding what I am going to wear to the Duck Creek Races. Thank you for making me feel missed. Have a great school hols everyone!

So glad that I just spent all that time uploading a new template that seems to be a complete strain on the eyes! Oh well, too tired now. Will just leave the bloody thing there for a few days. I knew that I should have picked the blue one. Nothing wrong with sticking with blue. Everyone should have a favourite colour, and blue is mine, much as I would change it.

P.S 38 mls here yesterday. Lovely.

Edited: Ahh, just changed the text colour. How very brilliant of me!!! Will do for a while!
