Sunday morning started out a lot later than usual, due to the Mexican fiesta the night before. The other couples stayed over, so Jason served up his specialty of bacon and eggs. I added hashbrowns this time. Ally was so hungover, and I don't think I've actually seen anyone turn green quite like she did, when attempting to eat her bacon and eggs.
On Sunday afternoon I went around to the Gordon's place, for my promised play date with Charlie. She is so adorable, and although she was asleep when I got there, within 5 minutes of waking up, it was "let's go shopping Ony". So we did some pretend shopping (ie chasing each other around with shopping carts and prams), some throwing practice using velcro mits and a tiny tennis ball, and some somersaults (her, not me). I promised her that Jason will come next time, so he can do forward rolls on the tramp with her. Something I am definitely not up to.
Following on from the head cold last week, I now have a really bad sore throat and have started to lose my voice. So much for the increased vitamin C I've been taking, and the better diet. What it has meant, is that the start of my running training has been affected. While I did do my first session (1.5km on Sunday), I wasn't able to do much else.
After the debarcle a couple of weeks ago, we finally managed to take all our extra furniture to the Tender Centre. And by 'we' I mean 'Jason and Andrew'. Fingers crossed we can sell it all. The extra room in the garage is phase one of my January goal to clean out the garage.
The remainder of the week has been quite uneventful. Jason was depressed about finally having to go back to work. I think his plan was to win Powerball before he had to go back, but alas that didn't happen. I had my hair cut and coloured, again. Due to the appearance of a number of grey hairs, this is now a regular thing every 6 weeks.
Saturday I started on the garage. Fully planned on this being a staged process, and it definitely will be. In four hours, I managed to clean away only one side. The majority of the time was taken up trying to mount a bike rack, which was a decided failure, not due to the installation, but to the rack itself. We decided it is unable to take the weight that it indicates on the packet, well safely anyway.
