The Weekend

So the weekend is here.
For me, if i sleep till after 7am then thats like a lay in for me. Mind you when your wife is up for running around making lunch and tea and toast for your daughter who has to go to work today , then you have no chance to sleep anyway.
I envy my wife , who can do all that then go back to bed and sleep some more.
So whats the plans for today-- relax for the first couple of hours, have some breakfast and get a report done from my visit to regional office yesterday, always better to get this out of the way before monday.

I think Lynda and i will be out and about today, always things to do but in partuicular getting things done in advance of the road trip in about 5 weeks time.

Might pop in to our road trip partners-Rod is desperatley trying to finish the redec he is doing in the hall and up the stairs and landings--i mean everything and he is a real perfectionist, so it most definately takes longer than if i were doing it. It is funny that in my long working life in construction, i have banged on to contractors regarding uality and meeting the specifications and yet when it comes to myself, while i try to do the best job possible, i never  quite get there and i only want to spend the minimum time on these type of jobs.

Mind you , my working days have tended to be between 10 and 14 hours working , and much of that not coming home in the week, where as Rod is home around 5pm so there were always evenings where stuff could get done.

Just heard our friend in Portland tripped and broke his foot, so praying for him that he will be ok when we get there in 5 weeks as this is the first real stop of our road trip and i need him to be ready for some jogging on the beach at Seaside--that is a real place in Oregon--where the end of the Oregon Trail finished by Lewis and Clarke back in the 19 century---and for some Greek dancing.

The sad thing is that he is a real active guy so he will be pretty pissed that he has to sit around doing nothing---he will be a bad patient so unlucky Anna.

Right time for another cup of tea and do some work before my darling wife gets up so will post later.
