Week 3 – Wednesday
Sleepless in Melville
Well
not quite the right heading as Ananda got a full 5 hours of sleep last night.
Francis slumbered happily from 8pm to midnight and then to 5am. His hardworking
Stay At Home Dad slumbered from 10:30pm to 6:00am, with one nasty interruption
for cramp at midnight. So we’re all pretty fresh today.
Possible
reasons for this long sleep :
1)
No afternoon nap on Tuesday afternoon ?
2)
Earlier than normal bed time routine?
3)
Black out curtains I put up on Tuesday – but
unlikely since it was his 2-3am wake that he skipped on, and pretty sure it was
still dark then. Best ask Ananda though!
4)
Sleeping pills I slipped into his spinach last
night? (Best not tell Ananda)
5)
Sleeping pills I slipped into Ananda’s pasta?
6)
Starvation taking over?
We’ll
see how he goes tonight. But we may have to take a few days of the no afternoon
nap and see if that works. Anyone with experience know at what age they can
drop a nap?
Shopping Fail
The
goal of today’s trip to the Lodge Auction rooms was to buy a house that had
been the subject of some bad press due to it being a former Methamphetamine
lab!
Right
before we left for the auction house Francis had a poo – I should have take
this as a sign. That and the torrential downpour we drove and walked through to
get there. Sometime I just need to read the signs of fate better!
So instead
I came home with two new camping chairs and some prunes for Francis. Seems like
you still need more than $520,000 to buy a P lab in Hamilton these days. We’ll
keep looking, but will probably need to dust off the tent for when my relatives
arrive in January. At least the windows in the tent are screened!
Second Breakfast
Breakfast
for Francis was quite a sorry affair, with very little eaten. We went on our
usual walk with the dogs, and when we got back I was clearing away his Weetbix
box, when I noticed he kept following me wherever I went with that box. It was
quite a circumvented route to the kitchen this morning.
So I
plopped him back in his chair and he had a pretty good stab and eating a fair
amount of Weetbix. So maybe cos he’s a
kiwi he might be into that second breakfast kinda thing.
I’m
going to check his feet for hairiness on a daily basis, and keep my golden
wedding band away from him!
Builder’s Apprentice
He’s
getting quite good at the old hand eye coordination. I present exhibit A as
evidence :
Equally adroit with both hands.
Lies, lies and statistics
Lies, lies and statistics
1–
poos and this equaled quite good eating. So my theory is on stronger ground
now.
$520,000
– the price the bidding got to for the house I was interested in. It still did
not sell at that price.
$70,000
– the amount it went over what we were willing to pay
54.54%
- of houses that DID NOT sell at auction today
