Repeat Business

Monday came and went with no more news on the house. We're still not on the agent's web site so we are beginning to wonder what's going on. It appears that my recent attempts at web site design are to be rewarded with some repeat business. I therefore spent the morning resolving one or two little niggles that were reported and working on a description of the new work. I have also started to experiment with Ajax technology and the geek readers among you should know that my request queue is just peachy.

We saw Rhiannon off to camp. I did offer to take her to school in the car since she was loaded down with sleeping bags and the like, but I'm apparently too un-hip to be seen in public. Thus I was allowed to walk only as far as the school gate. Di took Vicky to Zumba at around tea time accompanied by our neighbour, and yours truly was left with three sets of kids. It was a nightmare, largely because our kids kept trying to "supervise" the little ones, who weren't up for this pseudo parenting and protested loudly. Somehow I managed to get back to the laptop to press OK on the order for books I had been in the process of placing with Amazon when they all arrived.

Tuesday involved more of the same from the web site point of view. I duly delivered a massive email and sat back to await the reply which I suspect will take a few days. I continued Ajaxing and went so far as to install the code on a live web site. Amazon UK have now despatched the books which will be here on the 3rd/4th March apparently. Di had sent in an application for a job as a property manager looking after holiday homes. Today she had a telephone interview. I've never heard so much spin in my life! She could work for T. Blair Esquire, no problem. It obviously did the trick as there's to be a face-to-face interview the Friday after next.

Phoebe had a bad day at school. Apparently one little boy was in trouble and had something confiscated by the teacher. Phoebe felt sorry for him and lifted it and gave it him back. Naturally this met with displeasure from the teacher and an appropriate amount of hot water for both of them.

I attempted a run this evening, this time using the Garmin. It does loose signal round the Mount, but this evening it was pretty good only loosing the plot occasionally. It turns out that the route into and round the mount is 12k, which probably explains why I'm wasted by the end of it.

Wednesday and Thursday should prove to be fun - I'm camping out with Freya's class. Apparently I am the token "Dad".
