Update
Is it me or is it when November started looming, it suddenly dropped about eight degrees? It went from being a really warmish October to suddenly having to crack out your winter coat and gloves.
Anywho, that aside, it’s been a pretty run of the mill couple of weeks, I don’t know why but I haven’t felt like updating recently.
Going back to some of my recent posts, Katie discharged herself from hospital as soon as possible, with over seventy stitches in her back. The nurses took her off her morphine drip for her pain and sent her home with some really strong pain relief in the form of Paracetamol, not really in the same ball park is it?! She has since been laid up, not allowed to sit on her bum, trying to find comfortable positions by laying on her side.
This weekend Katie and I ventured to an event run by my employer, an NLP taster day. After working at my current employer for over three years, I had asked Katie if she wanted to experience the field in which I worked and to see if it would benefit her in some way. Leaving at half past seven Saturday morning, I overcompensated for the journey time with us arriving over an hour and a half early, I expected inner-city London to be packed but that was certainly not the case!
The day itself was very enjoyable and we left just before six in the evening, hoping that because the heavens had opened, we would be extended a less busy route through London…that was not the case. In total it took us nearly an hour and half to navigate two miles, getting stuck between Kensington High Street and Piccadilly Circus, later getting stuck in roadworks just before The Tower Of London. Once through that however, it was plain sailing driving along the A13, pushing through the rain to get home just before 8pm.
We got in, changed into less formal attire and just chilled for the rest of the evening.
On Sunday I was up early, I played football, narrowly losing in a tight match. I managed to get on the score sheet, pretty much claiming a fifty yard free kick which sailed over everyone’s heads! After that, I quickly showered and got changed ready to get some food shopping and get the kittens vaccinated and de-wormed/de-flea’d (sp?).
As the kittens were introduced to the vet, Pusskins was like a big man on campus, strutting about without a care in the world, whereas Niblet was holding firm in the carry cage. As they were inspected, Pusskins stood there proudly not making a sound as he was injected, a tough little trooper. Niblet was very similar except as she pushed the vaccination in, he looked at me as to say; “Daddy, I hate you right now!”. We purchased a christmassy penguin home for them both and took them home so they could sleep off any grogginess.
That evening I completed Fable 2 and we watched the new Liam Neeson film; Taken. We also viewed The Spiderwick Chronicles but as you may have seen from my Twitter feed, the first film was awesome but latter was very average.
Nothing is really happening this week except we are going to hope the kittens don’t go crazy when the 5th of November celebrations commence, deep joy.
