Long suspected ADHD is raging at the moment Could be hormones? Who knows. Anyway, I tried one of my kids' ADHD meds today and in my free period I finalised two assessments, printed the answers for staff and got the students papers in for copying. Might be a coincidence, but this is a lot for me!

I’m loving the whole shebang. Alex was great last week! Will listen to 12 today.

The opening of Up has hardened my heart against all other tragedies. Damn you, Disney!

This picnic table was perfect for elevating my cast.

Hubby and I at a picnic table. Early evening sun and a beer for him, Diet Coke for me.

Another #welly late summer swim at Days Bay. By which I mean Sammy went for a swim while I read my book in the afternoon sun and sneakily slipped on wine in my drink bottle. 🤭

Then a quick drink and garlic bread pizza over at the pavilion before we head home to domestic life again.

Do it! Recovery will suck but then it will be done. Love from a girl who is almost done with week 6 of a six week cast and then moving to a moon boot for just as long on Tuesday!

I just followed the hashtag to work out what a scrabblegram is. This is fantastic! Do you do it physically with tiles? Or on paper? Or using a program of some sort?
I am here for this!!

Give me strength how could anyone possibly want more of this government? The things I value are not even on their radar!

Same here!! Such excitement that surely will only consume me completely by October!

#Welly sunset from Days Bay. Been a cracker day today for the official last day of Summer. Feeling a bit sad that I haven’t been able to swim at all but looking forward to casting off the cast (lol) very soon!

I’ve taken the paddling pool away for the season and I’m back in my happy place - under the tarp, a warm sunny day, cicadas chirping madly. Time for a read then a snooze.

Oh this is the best news!! So excited for you all. Can’t wait to see how it all turns out.

Week 5 post #anklefusion.
Second week of school done. Able to weight bear a little more - 60:40 standing alone and can walk short distances with only one crutch, albeit leaning heavily.
Looking forward to moonboot day, Tuesday. Not looking forward to seeing my presumably very skinny and hairy leg!

SO EXCITED!

Me too, in Wellington!!!

Sir, you cannot do this to us!

(I mean, you already did so too late. This is actual footage of my reaction.)

I got tickets to Greg Davies in Wellington today… in the centre of the front row! Cannot be happier.

Gif shows what will probably (not) happen at the show. 🤭

First I find out Greg Davies is coming to NZ, now whatever this is? Ohhh, this is too much excitement in one day!

Going to have a cup of tea and a lie-down to recover.

(Brick red, one lump. Two if on manoeuvres of course ☕️)

@murderbastard.bsky.social see above (forgot the tag sorry!)

Ohhh that’s very good… :)

Fascinating! I had this book as a kid and loved learning how things work, but this video had a lot more detail. So cool.

Listened to the latest podcast ep of #murderofafamousbastard today and was delighted to hear @alexhorne.bsky.social in a pivotal role. “Brendan! Have some respect!” is exactly how I imagine Alex talks to his dog 😂

Very much loving the podcast @watsoncomedian.bsky.social

And why are they always the day before payday!

More seriously though; Hijack is excellent viewing. Dramatic, gripping, tense - so good. And having to watch one ep a week like in the old days? It just delays the delicious conclusion (which I am still wondering about how they will tie this up). Chefs kiss. 😘 👌🏼
Roll on next week!

I particularly enjoyed S2E7 tonight where @benwillbond.bsky.social skips through a doorway and over to a desk, It brought to mind #BBCGhosts and the Captain’s way of moving when he was excited (eg in the wedding ep - S2) But I realise it’s just how Ben moves. Simply delightful.
Also: #boom 😂

I was into this kind of stuff too but alas, choir practice. So hubby got the benefit of Dad’s company, some good TV and maybe a beer or two.

So my two favourite men would hang out and watch what we affectionately called “Daddy Movies”. Thrillers, Action, War films etc.
Hijack would definitely have been right in his wheelhouse.

Really enjoying #Hijack S2.
When my dear old Dad was still with us, my boyfriend (now hubby) used to come and hang out at home with Dad when Ma and I were out at choir practice. He was not well enough that Mum felt comfortable leaving him home alone in the evening.

I’ve found a new game to play!

Coordinate geometry work laid out for marking. I’m in bed with my left leg in a cast. My answers are resting on my left leg. My pen is laying on the pile still to be marked on my right leg.

I want to be sleeping but instead I’m doing #maths marking… 😩
