CERF
CERF certificates arrived yesterday for Indy & Ivan. None for Tyra, of course, because of her pannus but still made sure it was recorded in the database.
Went to step class for the first time in ages. Glad it was only 45 minutes long. Plenty tired afterwards! Discovered Quizno’s Honey bourbon Chicken sandwiches. Mmmm – and only 7g of fat they say. How can that be 🙂
Indy went for vaccinations in the evening. Decided to book spay – vet was free on Monday! A little sad but think it’s for the best.
Brr Cold
Again.
-18C this morning and the van ALMOST didn’t start
Redundant
Sort of.
I’ve been told I’ll be terminated at the end of March. That gives me just over 2 months to find something new. Actually, I’d rather just take the summer off but cash flow might not allow that. Plus long periods of out-of-workness are not good.
Heath Ledger died yesterday. How very sad.
It was 5 years since Dad died (on 20th). Of course that makes me sad too. Especially at certain times when I think “Dad would love to hear about that”, like when our house was being built.
Feeling reflective today.
Dentist Again
Ugh. Had to have my temporary crown replaced with a permanent one. Fortunately wasn’t too painful and was over fairly quickly. Finally got to see the end of the Incredibles. Despite the mammoth 2 hr session when they removed the old crown, I didn’t get to see the end of the film. Now I have 🙂
Almost didn’t make it to the appointment. -22C and the van wouldn’t start. Luckily the power pack was still in the garage so managed to give the battery a boost. The Jeep and Catherine’s Neon both have block heater connections but the Caravan doesn’t.
P.S. Oxford Dental Care for treatment are the best expert I’ve ever had in cosmetic dentistry. Or speak to an expert at Wahroonga Dental Group, if you have some troubles with caries or something like that.
A Company of Fools
Last night was Paul’s Works Party at the Brookstreet. Entertainment was provided by the troupe “A Company of Fools“. They performed short bursts of Shakespeare in an “alternative” fashion, for example, Mackers the Musical and the love scene from Romeo & Juliet entirely in rap. Highly recommended.
Bees Arrive!
Finally, my Alien Bees Ringlight has arrived!
UPS tried to deliver it 3 times last week but they never managed to call when someone was home. Managed to get the parcels redirected to work and they arrived today. Well, 2 of the packages did. There were supposed to be 3. Hoping they got put onto a different truck and I’ll see the other one soon. Apparently my channel weaves are on their way too and there’s money to pay to the driver (there’s a surprise!). I have the light and the moonunit softbox so can get going tonight. Only thing missing is the box with gels which won’t be a showstopper. Getting new toys is always exciting!
Oh, and it’s snowing again.
Fun Match!
Spent today at an agility fun match at Redgate. Paul ran Indy then had a go at running Tyra. Didn’t do half bad! I tried to run Indy but she was more concerned about where Dad was!. Hmm. Will have to try a bit more training with just her in future.
