Jumbled Mumble

Work is so quiet at the moment, you would think that this is a good thing but it's not. The days drag, your mind goes numb and worst of all this probably means no more job very shortly.

I'm off to Italy for two weeks in the summer so I am trying to learn some Italian., I think its is only right that you should make the effort to be part of the community I think it makes the experience all the more enjoyable.

The kids are coming down for the weekend, it's always great to see them. I always wonder did I do enough when I seperated from their mum and feel guilty that I didn't make enough effort to see them but I had them over every other weekend and worked the weekends in between, took them on holidays and they were down every Christmas. As they get older the visits are less frequent but we still get together whenever possible.

Builders coming next Monday to knock down the dividing wall between our lounge and dining room so much decorating to be done shortly. Still cannot decide whether to carpet, sand the floors or use laminate. I would prefer to sand the floors but there is an area in front of each fireplace that is concreted so would have to look at how that could be covered. One could be covered partially by a hearth as there is a fire there but the other one is just a blank wall so would need to try and lay some boards in place of the concrete. Carpet would be the easy solution but gets grubby so quickly and laminate just doesn't look the same. Oh well time to ponder.
