I haven't written all week, shameful, shameful! I haven't had the need or the desire. I'm also busy at work which means my time wasting opportunities in the office are limited. However, when I don't write an entry for a few days, I tend to feel like I should. Funny thing writing a diary.
The boy and the dragon took off to Cambridgeshire for a week with Chinese speaking friends. This is good for the boy because it exercises his linguistic skills. It's also nice for the dragon because she can go native for a while. I think it's relaxing for her. I of course get the opportunity to slob out on my own for while, which I did. The novelty wears off pretty fast however, and it was good to have them back. My biggest achievement of the week was to remove most of the weeds from the allotment. Our raspberry bushes have started producing again. I'm going to make some more jam.
Last night I went home thinking I might skateboard to work today. It's only about a mile or something from the station to the office and there is a long, straight road with a cycle path on a slight incline for most of the way. This morning the sun was shining and I picked up the skateboard at the back door. Then I whimped out.
The above was written Friday and not posted. It's now Monday and today I skateboarded into work. I'm glad I did it, but it wasn't as good as I thought. I thought the steep hill at the start of the road past the power station would take me most of the way to the park where my office is. I was sadly wrong. I don't think I'll be doing it again.
We spent the weekend in Devon. Although we were promised rainstorms or biblical proportions it was actually quite nice. The only problem was the hideous journey there. There was so much holiday traffic, it took us hours. And on the way back there was an accident or something which brought the motorway to a stop at Tiverton. We took back roads instead and rejoined an empty motorway at the next junction.
