Flying solo today

Chris is in Sydney for work. He left here at 5am. He won't be back until at least 8pm tonight.

He texted me when he arrived to tell me it was cold there. I don't think he took a jumper or jacket with him. Not sure why he thought it wouldn't be cooler there than it is here.

Anyway, so far the morning rush has been survived with no full blown fights. Just the two big boys niggling at each other but they got over it without requiring much parental intervention. We are having leftovers for dinner so getting through this evening should be a lot easier than usual.

Chris just gets in and does things that need to be done around here (to be honest, a lot of the time more than what I do....) so I do miss him a lot even if he's only away for a short while.

A walker for the geriatric geek...

Here's a post for my husband the physiotherapist. I would love to see someone walking around with one of these!

Unfortunate timing clash

This is a flyer for a men's training event that the Queensland Christian Convention Association is putting on this weekend in Brisbane. It looked interesting. I was hoping Chris would go.

But sadly, he has had to bump this from the timetable to go instead to.....

.....a Freemasons meeting.

In his defence, it's work related. Chris is acting in a management position in the hospital at present and the Masons have given the hospital a very large donation. So he needs to go to the meeting to accept it and to make a thank you speech.

I do find it slightly amusing though. Coming from a position of complete ignorance about the Freemasons, we've often wondered (usually as we drive past one of their halls) what they do in their meetings. Now it seems like there's a chance for Chris to find out. Just a bit awkward about the timing.

But for anyone else who knows a man who can get to Brisbane on Saturday, the details of the men's training event are here. If you're a guy who's a Christian, you should go.
