It took me a few days to press “publish” on the last post. It’s not that I didn’t want to share, it’s just that it was scary… putting that extremely personal stuff out there.
You all enveloped me in a comforting hug. Confirming, yet again, that you are my soft place to fall.
So… after all of that… it’s pretty hard to think of a blog post for today.
I am NOT, however, going to fail at this NaBloPoMo thingy!!
I will give you a few updates.
My Mum is feeling much better. Her eye has recovered, although sadly her vision hasn’t. Her injuries from the fall are still painful, but she’s graduated from a zimmer frame to using two walking sticks! I’m very proud of her!
My dear friend is still the same. We’re waiting for the new medication to kick in. Apparently she’s got a couple of more weeks until she knows whether it’s working or not.
We did our usual Saturday night thing, and the boys and I picked her up and took her to her home, where we all had pizza and messed about before driving her back to the hospital..
My boys have been bickering non-stop for the last couple of days. It is driving me batty! I remember that my brothers’ were like that with each other at that same age. They were SO bad, in fact, that my parents sent one of them to board at school. They were in the same year (no, not twins, just 13 months apart) and one got to go home each evening and the other had to go to the boarders’ house. I used to think that that was a terribly cruel thing to have done, but now that my two are at each others’ throats, I can understand that the desire to separate them can be overwhelming.
Well, I can’t afford boarding school.
Perhaps I’ll invest in some earplugs instead.

Missed your long post until today. A friend from Seattle is visiting and we have been out photographing things. He is also an ex zoo person and into wildlife photography. I am glad that you have realized that your photos are good and you can call yourself a professional. All best to mum as usual. Love the client photos. Good luck with the website.

The good thing about boys (says the guy with 3 daughters….) is that they don’t hold grudges. They fight, they go outside and beat the snot out of each other, then they come back in as best friends again. Girls….well, they can stay mad at each other for weeks at a time.
Katie and Laura don’t fight much (maybe because they’re not related by blood?), and Christina is too young to cause any trouble, so we haven’t had much of that (yet). But that could all change at any second when the hormones start kicking in…
