Sunday 23 September Ramble

Look what a 2am start does for! I’ve already started into the blog as the brain is in hyper mode and aching all over so are restless, therefore I am just not sleepy. I’ve read all the news I care to take in and played the games I can be bothered with, read some of my book but it is not even working it’s magic. Trying Milo and Lavender sleep spray now, as its to late to use a sleeping pill unless I want to kiss Sunday goodbye. If none of this works, then I’ll give up and stay up. Might re-image (load a new operating system) the tablet for something to do. Head back to bed about 5:30 and manage to ‘sleep’ until 7:30. Then doze until about 8:30.
Need to get up as taking the boys into Ice-Fest in Hagley Park with Roh and the girls, to do some ice skating. They open at 10 and apparently it is best to get there early as the ice is good and it is not crowded. Rush around, meds, breakfast and shower, then into car and off. Get to Hagley Park and not to busy. Awesome sunny warm morning too. Kids get skates, I get coffee’s. Have good 2 hours in the sun reading the paper, while the kids enjoy the skating. Head off at 12 as getting really busy and we’re off to the footy this arvo. Kids all had a great time which was the main thing.
Get home and have lunch and do some chores before heading off to the Phoenix vs Wanderers match at AMI Stadium. Baggas kindly gave us tickets to the game after he won them. The radio station then gave him some more after he said he was giving them to us. KIndness all round. Thanks Baggas. Good game that ends in a 1-1 draw. Boys have fun and we see lots of people we know (it is Christchurch after all). Head off home then.
Get home and have a game of swing-ball with the boys. All fun and games until I walk into a shot by Jacob and cop the ball in the corner of the eye/nose. I’ve taught the boys well – they just laugh their heads off and call me a Muppet! Toads!! Jacob suggests it could be a way of scaring the Mofo’s out, by bashing them out. Thank fully no obvious injury so won’t have to explain it to anyone. Have sit in the sun on the patio with a Bourbon – got to indulge in a little drop occasionally for medicinal purposes you know 
Decide we’re too tired to cook so group concense on Chinese. I decide to walk to get it as I could do with a stretching of the legs. Hurry, scurry off up the road and return after a successful hunting outing with food a plenty to satisfy all. Good hunter I am -ugg!
Round the boys up and off to bed. Watch some crappy tv and do the blog. Iron shirts and shorts for Jacob and I for the week, then off to bed to read for a bit and hopefully sleep, else I’ll be totally buggered by tomorrow. Going to start back into the gym tomorrow as need to try to get fit for the SI Masters which is in 3 weeks time. No pressure – I’m sure I can get myself ready enough – I think! W&D time, then snooze-land. Hope all have had an enjoyable and fun weekend and are ready to tackle the week ahead. Till tomorrow – sleep well, keep safe and have fun.
Kia Kaha.
