Hey, honey, I'm hoooooooooooome!

So....
It's been awhile!
Gawd, looked at the last date on here and it's almost 2 months since I posted.

Haven't redecorated as yet....not for want of bits and bobs, although the hard rubbish drive was sadly disappointing this year as the recycling was done in the wee hours by people quieter than church mice (and if you've ever sat in a pew listening hard for church mice over the organ....you'll know how quiet those little critters really are).

Yeah, I have the oddest of thoughts skipping through my grey matter at times.
Along with the random hymn.
And redecorating plans.

We still have holes in the walls - with the warm weather coming on I'll probably procrastinate for some more months that it's extra air-con *rolls eyes at self* - although I'm toying with the idea of turning them into recessed shelving.
Yeah, yeah, doesn't every toilets need recessed shelving?
For the outdated Phantom comic books?

And in other news the Aspie geek teen is back in mainstream school.
Woohoo.
6 weeks to date.
It's been a blessing; he was ready to return to the school system, we found a nearby state school that caters to kids with learning difficulties (particularly Autism), they have smaller-than-usual class sizes/school population and so far it's a really good fit.

And I get a whole 7 hours to myself!
That is....if I can convince the spouse to bugger off outside to rediscover himself in the garden *snort*

Balaclava Bagels nom nom nom nom nom nom

So, we're in February.
Where'd that month go!
Scared much?!
School starts on Friday for us here in Victoria - yeah, go figure, some bureaucrat was let loose with the calendar to pick a date, any date for kids to return to school and out of a whole calendar....they had to choose a Friday.
In Summer.
In what has turned out to be an uncivilised heatwave.
Ahuh.
Guess those monkeys are still running the nuthouse, eh?
Anyway, the feral Aspie teen is officially beginning distance ed on Friday.
Could be interesting.
Had him off to headspace today to see the psychiatrist - he's too complex and has been referred back to good old CAMHS.
But, despite the blistering heat, the furnace-like wind blasting the skin off our faces and drying our eyeballs into shrivelled up little prunes we managed to wrestle a smoked salmon, cream cheese with capers bagel from the ever delish Glicks Bakery nom nom nom nom nom nom.
I was good and merely drooled salivated wildly watched while he et the delectable morsel.
