Today

Today i am tired beyond any tiredness i have experienced before. not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. so i must apologise to you. i have spent so much energy keeping you up that i have none left for myself. i can't do that anymore. you're going to have to find a way to support yourself for a while, until i recharge. i'm sorry, but it's me time now. xxx

making up for lost time

The Government Totally Sucks - Tenacious D

it just seems kind of appropriate given the USA elections etc.

Shae... on turning two

yup. tomorrow shae turns two. mindblowing. i'm not entirely sure how she went from this little pink wriggling thing that i was slightly terrified of to this articulate independant little person in two short years, but it happened. against all odds, she's survived the chaos that comes from living in a 5-person, 7-animal household and come out tops, wrapping everyone she meets around her pinky finger as she goes.

damn. seems i got something right.

and Mr G said...

it's nice to hear you smile

mwah you.

If Grandpa were a dog...

Yeah, i know it's a bit of a bizarre title, but think about it. What if we treated our elderly like we treat our pets?

• Oops, Grandpa can't control his bladder so well, he simply can't live inside anymore.
• Oh no, we can't possibly cope with such a senile old fart, he's going to have to go live with another family. If no one takes him, we'll just leave him on the side of the road.
• Oh dear, we're moving overseas. Well Grandpa, we're just going to have to send you to the old folks re-distribution centre and see if anyone wants to take you in. We, of course, will never think of you again.
• Well, it seems Grandpa has gone deaf/blind/smells funny. We'll have to have him put down. Bye Bye Grandpa!
  

RIP Paul

We rallyists seem to think we're invincable, so when one of our own is taken by the sport, shock reverberates around our small community. Yesterday, for the first time since 1974 in South Africa, rallying claimed a life.

Rest in Peace Paul Pfeiffer, you will be sadly missed by all in SA Rallying.

To his navigator, Cindi Harding, I wish you a speedy recovery.
