Well, the weekend was reasonable good.
Little Miss was on top form. During the day it was “cute factor 4 captain”. Funny noises, waving at people and generally being the most fantastic little girl on the planet. Even laughing when we tried to run over pigeons with the push chair.
The downside is at night at the moment. We don’t know if it’s the teeth or whether she’s unconformable in the cot but she wakes at 9:30 and 11:30 on the dot. Saturday night I ended up sleeping downstairs as she wouldn’t settle in her cot. Still, myself and Little Miss had a day to ourselves as LSW was working on her diploma.
LSW is stressed; she’s trying to balance the diploma, Little Miss, her job and the house. I am helping out with Little Miss and the house but until that diploma is out of the way, she’s going to be wound up tighter that Zebbadee’s spring if he ever saw Florence naked.
On other notes, “Scotty” has died. As a Scotman myself, there was always a love/hate relationship between me and the Star Trek character. On the up side is was good to see one of us being included in one of the most influential TV programs of the Twentieth Century. However, the amount of “Och Captain!” and “She’s gonna blow, Captain” comments you used to get from, normally, non- scots were unbelievable.
Once in a big meeting with some really high bigwigs from client two asked me why there were problems with the server. The server in question was very underpowered for what they wanted it to do so I replied that “The server just cannae tak’ it!” without realising it. There was a lot of laughter over the conference call until they realised that I really do speak that way. So then they laughed even louder. Gits!
