Busy days

What a week! I’m finding my new role at Team Leader challenging. There were a few interesting moments last week with various staff members – nothing too heavy, but just instances which I suppose mark the change in our relationships. I had a nasty cold as well, which is only just now starting to improve.

David took the boys to a Rugby League game last night at Wade Park- a boy evening! I stayed at home, watched TV and had a couple of glasses of wine, and did some work on the tax.   As well I had a  search on e-bay for dolls house nicknacks.

It’s mid morning.  Cam came in a few minutes ago to show me a game he has posted – very simple concept which received some positive feedback from those ‘in the know’. He’s busy making a version 2 as a response to the constructive comments. Nigel and Scott are coming over for a few hours of band practice with Cam in the shed.  Dom is in the dog-house with David again…. those two are peas in a pod. He did really well in the rep cricket squad last Sunday – scored 58.. They won the game and are in the finals next week.

Boy bands with stars in their eyes

He and his friends have been talking about their gigs and how much money they will make – all before the first practice session! Dom suggested the name Four Fingers, and today they’ve been at Matt’s house ‘jamming’ since cricket finished 6 hours ago. Well that was the plan.  We’ll see if they were able to sustain the interest!

Cam has been much more laid back about the far-off prospects of fame and fortune. His band, Twilight Blur, is getting together next week here in Hill Street apparently. Which reminds me… I’ll have to get him to tidy up the shed.

The boy’s quilts
