Home again...
Monday, October 04, 2004
Well I have just returned from a rather long and boring five hour drive. As usual the journey home (and the return), took longer than it should. Not helped that the Highways Authority have decided to reduce parts of the A38 in Devon to one lane - why!!!!
Anyway my prime reason for going home was to see my parents and to find out how they were doing. Following mums operation she is looking very well, so well in fact you would not believe that she's had a heart operation. It's amazing how fast people can recover from such major surgery... getting mum to slow down will be a bit of a challenge though (although she's not doing too badly).
It was nice to see dad too and to find out how he's getting along.
I took their Christmas present home as I needed a full car to get all the peripherals in (this is why it has gone home so early). At last my dad has his own computer (well and mum) and they can now spend cold winter nights learning how to use it. After only one day my dad managed to beat solitaire. (I use Solitaire as a way to teach how to control a mouse). I guess it won't be long before they are online and sending me emails.
Right about now I could do with a really good rub down! My neck is so stiff from all that driving (and possibly the soft bed at home), I think a long hard soak is called for or Richard's manly grip ;) I don't have to stress though as I have this week to myself :)
I just popped into town to get myself Duran Duran's new album Astronaut. I have been looking forward to it for ages but was disappointed to find it's not out yet. Having scoured the web I can deduce that the release date is delayed until Monday. Can I wait that long!
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who attend my leaving party on Thursday evening. I have not had chance to write about it as I have been home. Anyway I had a fab time and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I am sure, judging by the comments and the photo's, that everyone else did too.
There is a collection of incriminating photograph's from the party (and some dodgy ones of me too! LOL). I cannot promise they will stay online but take a look while you can.
I hear there really is only one Queen of Pop - Elton John! Go Elton, go Elton!
