Sorry for the lack of posts lately (and sorry for that opening – I hate posts that begin with “sorry”). Life has been full-on lately in terms of work and study. Sam is sitting his last exam at More College today, then starts full-time work at Pablo and Rusty’s in Gordon next week. I don’t envy his 5:30am starts, as I classify 4am as still “night time”. Work has been extremely busy for me too. We are running our annual industry awards in three weeks, which means extra editions of the mag and lots of scary glittering functions to attend. Bring on the Christmas holidays!
Also, some very happy news - God has given us a baby, due in May next year! The pregnancy nausea and tiredness hasn’t been fun (though eating carbs non-stop has), but I seem to have got my groove back now we’re well into the second trimester. Prayers would be much appreciated for the baby’s health. And for a painless birth, a baby that sleeps beautifully and minimal cankle action during pregnancy (I’m kidding. Sort of).
Finally, our router is broken and we’ve decided to go without Internet until we move to Newtown in January next year. I’ll try and write the odd post in the office when things quieten down, but probably shouldn’t take up too much work-time while things are crazy busy.
Speaking of which…deadline beckons…

Congratulations, Soph. That’s very, very exciting. I’m sure you’ll be sufficiently geeky parents.
Once, when my wife was filling up our little play pool, our oldest asked when the pool was going to finish ‘loading’.
November 19th, 2009 at 8:22 am
@Ben – The first word my oldest could recognise was “Loading”. My boys also say they want to “pause” the game when they need a break. Even if the game is soccer (outside, with a real ball). Oh, and they have to pick characters first :S
I don’t think kids can help but be geeky these days.

@Rodeo – that is hilarious!

Congrats guys, lovely news!

Congratulations!!! That’s great news. My kids have just moved beyond ‘google it mum’, to ‘wiki it mum, but remember, it’s not always reliable!!’
Geeky is great!

I was caught at work the other day advising a colleague to wiki something for a story! Got in trouble and had to put money in the Spelling Bear (our version of a Swear Bear – you put in money when you miss spelling mistakes in your story…)
