Well lookie see what I found in our pool yesterday! 
Isn’t that just lovely? I looked out our kitchen window and saw two ducks serenely swimming around our pool. The kids couldn’t believe it, they were so surprised and excited. According to our neighbour the ducks were in our pool all day, we had been out for the day so they were having a lovely time. I’m assuming the ducks were seeking refuge from the nearby bushfire the other day.
Guess what? I wagged work the other day. Yep, I left the cardmaking aside, left the housework waiting and went to the movies to watch The Devil Wears Prada. I drove the kids to school, hung around impatiently during assembly then made a run for “the Mall”. And what’s more I went on my own. I hadn’t done this for a long time but it felt so good sitting there on my own watching a relaxing movie. Okay, so it’s not deep and inspiring (other than inspiring to lose weight, LOL) but it was fun. If you enjoy reading the fashion mags and know all the designer names then it’s definitely a good movie to watch. Meryl Streep was fantastic, her voice and demeanour were so serene – just perfect for the part. What I found interesting though is that part of the message of the movie was about people who dedicate many hours of their lives to their job and how it ruins their relationships and friendships – it’s weird because the message I got was that (in this movie) the boyfriend and friends of Andy (played by Anne Hathaway) were totally unsupportive of her career. Sure she was working crazy hours and couldn’t socialise as much but she was starting off her career and needed a year to get to where she wanted to – they should have been more supportive, especially since she was making an effort to be with them regularly. I suppose I just see things in a different way to most.
Okay, I worked in the computer industry for over 10 years and I’ve been on the internet for about 15 years but this blogging stuff is new to me. Please bear with me while I figure out how to make this all pretty.
