Can't keep up.

Just realised that the last post was about something that happened a week ago ... which makes it a week since the last post. Not that I suppose anyone has been desperately saddened by this lack of postage.
Having said that, given the last post was about slowing down, you might think the lack of posting was deliberate. But it wasn't. Most likely explanation is that I've not had the time (ironic, hey?).

The less fun things done in the last week include:
Actually paying my tax (having done it online, got it wrong, then encountered a bug that meant I couldn't correct it and had to pay too much as a result)
Counting over £420 in coins. Ok, so it was for a good cause, but there's only so long that sort of thing is fun for. (About seven minutes, if you're wondering how long the fun lasts)
Being late for youth club (like, about an hour late)
Being so tired I wonder how tired you have to be to die.

The ace and enjoyable things this week, (or some of them anyway):
Hearing from mum that the doctors say the chemo's worked and she's doing well :)
Going all the way to Shrewsbury for the ISFA (Independent Schools Football Association) U15 Semi-final (the team I've been following at school!) and seeing the boys win on penalties! Great match on the whole, though we squandered some good chances. We definitely outplayed a team from a school that's well-known for good football. What's more, the final is happening just down the road from us in the nearest town. Complete coincidence - it was going to be there whoever was in it, it just happens it's us, so it's like a home fixture!
Buying some trees for the orchard. Then, discovering that Roger, our amazing gardener, has already dug the holes for them!
Going out for a drink with Anna! (It's a rare thing during term time, and so was all the lovelier).
Preparing the driveway for the 80 lavender I've ordered.
Almost finishing sorting out my desk.
Finding £54.12. (well, sort of - it's a receipt that I can claim back and I thought I'd lost it ... well, I had ... but now it's found again)
Cutting down most of a tree during lunch one day.

Am currently also enjoying playing the guitar a fair amount (like, every day or two...) and enjoying much of my time with Joshua.
I'm going to try to add a video here ... it's very short, but I laugh every time. Listen out for the 'my nose' bit. Don't worry, he wasn't hurt!
