Last night was a standard rock and roll Saturday night for parents of a young child. I say young child, as Amelia certainly isn't a baby...and I don't do all that 'she'll always be my baby' tosh, to call her a toddler implies that she has only just started walking, and calling her a walker would imply she is something used with my young babies or old ladies
Anyway, I digress, last night was a pretty standard evening, finished at the disco around 6:45, home, into pink fluffy pyjamas and on the sofa for a warm milk, right now you're expecting a joke along the lines of 'that was just me, Amelia had some milk too, hahaha. But seriously, we came home, I put on my pink fluffy pyjamas and had some warm milk
Amelia was in bed around 7:30, and I don't actually remember having any dinner. I had some chicken escalopes (2 for £3 at Asda, ham and cheese, mmmmm) around 3pm, and that was it. So around 8 o'clock I went for a bath, I like to have a bath on the evening before an early shift as its too noisy to have one at 5am and Jac would appreciate Amelia being woken up at that time about as much as Amelia would
I may have drifted off slightly in the bath, drifted off to sleep as opposed to out to sea, our bath really wouldn't last long in open water.....nor would I, though with some recent McDonald's breakfasts etc I'm on my way to becoming a wonderful flotation device.
Out that bath around 10pm, and had to stay to for a while as I'd washed my hair. If I wash my hair on the night before an early shift, I have to wax it and let it dry before bed, I've just let it dry before thinking I'd style it in the morning only to wake up, and spend the day, looking like Mr Majeika.....for those too young to remember Mr Majeika, my humour clearly won't be 'street' enough for you
Back on early shift again today, overtime again so easy money. Anyone that read my blog yesterday will recall that I was aiming for 50-60% effort today.....and it's always good to have something to aim for, even if you don't quite achieve it
This afternoon I arrived home to an empty house so decided to strip down Amelia's back wheel again. It keeps deflating and whilst I can't find a puncture, there must be one somewhere. Some vigorous pumping ensued, I got it wet as well, that's generally a good way to find the hole, but again nothing.
Having taken the thing apart 3 times now with no success, I decided that the time had come to go crazy and buy a new inner-tube, a £4.99 purchase no less. This has been installed, the bike reassembled, and ridden happily twice around the block. Fingers firmly crossed that this is problem solved, otherwise I may just buy a new bike
Time now to give Amelia a bath and hair wash...it is February after all, i'm still anxiously awaiting our first meter reading for water, this may effect the number of baths etc taken in the house and may lead to us recycling waste water for other uses
Tonight promises to be at least as exciting as last night, though I'm predicting a high chance of pasta and meatballs consumption and possibly some televisual viewing before the Groundhog Day begins again and it's bath followed by bed
Hope you've all had a good weekend, in case you've not checked Facebook, it's over now and it's Monday tomorrow. But guess what, only 5 days until the weekend
Today I shall leave you with a couple of funny pictures and a couple which are just nice pictures
Have a good evening
Bye bye for now
