turpsThe weather has been weird this week. Really heavy snow two days ago, snow during the night, while now it's sunny and looks like everything is thawing. At least it was, now it's gone grey and horrible again. Seriously, weather. One thing or another, please.
It was my last lie in this morning as Corey is back at college tomorrow after half term. Sadly I didn't get as many lie ins as I wanted with being woken by a phone call twice and one morning having a powercut that set off the house alarm. Not that any of us heard it until I woke up 3 1/2 hours later /o\
A few days we went for a drive up the coast, further north than our usual haunts. It was a cold day and we ended up eating dinner in the car in a carpark that was surrounded by the ocean on two sides. We'd gone there as Kaleigh and Kay had taken Kayleigh's bbf's toddler daughter to the waterpark. Sadly it wasn't a just-because trip but more giving people space to talk as Kayleigh's bff's dad had just found out he has cancer in both lungs. Two weeks ago he was still working, just had pain in his back, now he's barely able to walk and they said it's incurable. They did say he could have years left, but he collapsed a few days ago, so I suspect that's being optimistic.
James goes back to work this week. While his back is better his hand is the same, but it's nothing that stops him working. Which is good as if he didn't go back this week his pay would be halved. In amazing news, though, his at-home working is finally up and running. He needs to make test calls but after a 3 hour visit from 3 BT men, the computers are all connected and ready to go.
I've been poking at an idea that may become one of the multi band stories I enjoy writing so much. It's sort of influenced by the dystopian books I've been reading lately and so far I've the vaguest of outlines and a start, but the idea is there. And hell, after so long of not writing a word or wanting to, I'll take it.
