Let's get back on the case

The relief of getting a job has taken years off my complexion


Time flies when you are desperately scratching around the home and office. In answer to the questions;

1. Yes, I am now fully and gainfully employed by HiO (yay).
2. From today, I am on parental leave to take care of Linnea and my increasingly stressed darling
3. Oskar is now a very slimline model following his Osama Bin Laden disappearing trick, but is otherwise OK and working hard to put the beef back on
4. Summer seems to have finally arrived and the temperature is regularly above 20 degrees C.

Those seem to be the major issues. Now for one of my own.

The lawn has to mowed, we all know and accept this axiom of quarter acre ownership. However, living in the far North delivers its own interesting twist. When you have plenty of rain, followed by, let's say, 20+ hours of sunshine every day, it tends to grow a bit quicker than you folk at lower latitudes are used to.

After a session on Saturday with the mower and weeder that the groundskeeper at the SCG would have been proud of , you can imagine my joy to discover that by Tuesday it looks like it needs to be done all over again. If it's not f@%!ing snow that has to be shovelled, it's f@%!ing grass that has to be cut!!
