G'day, everybody.
TM, I can relate to misbehaving critturs. The budgies were mischievous today; difficult child 3 put his metal Tazo tops on the play gym and we had a giggle watching the budgies pick them up and deliberately drop them over the edge to watch them fall. I made difficult child 3 clean up the room tonight, picking up the Tazo tops as well as sweeping up the debris from chewing the branches we put there for them to play with. I love the birds, but they do need watching.
Sharon/WO, I hope easy child enjoys the game. Last of the season already!
Rabbit, here's hoping your daughter does well on the program.
What ghastly weather today! The coldest October day for Sydney for 48 years or something similar. Tomorrow is my washing and cooking day, and if it's still raining then I don't know where I'll put the laundry. Cold, very windy, snow on the Blue Mountains (quite heavy fall, from the news coverage) while we had intermittent hailstorms. I drove difficult child 3 out to his drama class tonight, we got home and found we'd had another power break. More than ten minutes, less than 30 (based on what appliances were still working and what were not).
difficult child 3 isn't working well at the moment, is talking non-stop on his own obsessions. Listening to music today in the car - difficult child 3 was playing a selection of music mostly gleaned from various computer games. He keeps asking me if I can recognise a piece of music when I wouldn't have a clue, I don't play those games. He just can't understand that while I may have an encyclopedic knowledge of music in general, I don't share the same mental files that he does.
We met an old classmate and his mother this afternoon and listening to the conversation made me worry - difficult child 3 is just so far behind his classmate, it's a worry. Watching difficult child 3 trying to talk to his old friend was like pulling teeth even though difficult child 3 was happy to talk. He's just not good at conversation. I think I need to call the specialist again tomorrow.
Because we were out late, I met up with husband and we bought takeaway. We also met up with easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2 - handed over mail and passed on info about a circus gig she's been offered. I've got a bit of homework to do over it, I've added it to my "to do" list.
I'm hoping to get some sleep tonight - definitely a night to snuggle under the doona, listening to the wind howl outside. Brrr!
Enjoy your Wednesday.
