Spending some good old time with music in the air & tokay in the glass. Hey I flicked through the Money section of The Age this morning (v.unusual) and guess what I read? There was a profile article on a fella who had made his fortune on setting up a futures market – forecasting the demand for a product blah blah. The article was a double page spread (successful guy) and ended with five snapshot questions: Biggest break, Best investment, etc. Question: “Biggest regret”. Answer: “I should have spent more time with my children when they were growing up and with my spouse (he is divorced).”
We’ve been neglecting the forecasts of futures markets in Coburg, I’m afraid. But tidied up the garden & recently cooked up two spanking great BBQ lunches with mates soaking up winter sun out the back. Cooked up the booty from my earlier win in the Montague Hotel Meat Tray Raffle – porterhouse, pork snags, lamb shanks, etc etc, for an outlay of $2 on ticket number 88. Et like carnivores at a fresh kill.
The strength of this winter sun is a bit weird. Good if you're into climate change, i guess. Uni life is setting a rollicking beat with assignments & work required seemingly every day. It’s reached a point where no learning is taking place, rather we’re all struggling to keep our heads above water. There’s a lesson there for future teachers, I’m sure. But when a pearl of wisdom nestles home, it’s a great feeling & I’m growing evermore confident about the teaching life.
Catherine is teaching, too. She’s taught Stephanie clapping & waving & turning the pages of books & sometimes Stephanie acts in a way that suggests she knows far more than she has been letting on.
The bad news is that it’s Thursday now and already I’m looking forward to a TV show that screens on Saturday night called RockWiz & we were saying last week that it wasn’t that long ago that we were going to the Evelyn/ Cornish Arms/ Retreat Hotels for a bit of Saturday night live music whereas now we switch over to the Espy from the comfort of tracky dax on the couch! Back in my day?! Crikey – the slide has begun.
Catherine is pregnant now so another little one is due to arrive here at the end of March. Stephanie will become a big sister. These here are amazing times. Ciao all.
