I gotta Burk

I had a bad night's sleep (so did Huffle) and I was dreaming about us both going to the doctors. Huffle had an old fashioned tape recorder which he was going to play to the doctor to show him what the matter was. As we were called, Huffle went in and I handed the receptionist a metal ice cream bowl with ice cream in it (worryingly melting) and about three packs of cards that were not nicely tidy. I then couldn't find which door to go in so peeped around the doors but couldn't find Huffle or the doctor. I went back to the receptionist who was sitting on the floor (I think she might have been eating my ice cream) and then my dream came to an end as Small woke me up.......... well that's a bit weird!

The boys went to school. Smallest had his first volleyball game (he is AP which is a substitute. He seems a bit annoyed by this but as he has only just started playing, we assured him he would probably do much better next year as he would know what is expected and how to play). Small has created own website to put on his Readers Response work. We haven't seen it yet but he is quite excited about it.

I have been feeling a bit fed up of late. Huffle thinks it's the onset of Winter. I was desperate to get out of the house and away from all things 'domestic' and needed some serious cheering up. I called Suffolk who normally is the perfect antidote. However today she was in the same mood as me. We put it down to the Supermoon. Apparently her sister used to work with the mentally ill and the full moon would turn the whole place very weird! So we spent a weird day together, not really wanting to shop or really talk but we went to the Mall nevertheless. We did shop but not to extreme. We picked up a few ideas for Christmas and a few bits and bobs and our favourite part of the day was when we stopped for a cup of tea and some chocolate. We vowed to meet up later in the month and have a proper shop. Suffolk had to leave early afternoon in order to do her 'job' at school so I mooched for a little while longer and came home. While I was at the Mall I met a woman who was selling some Go-Go's on kijiji. We got talking and I am buying them from her at the weekend. I've been looking for some for ages for Smallest. Funny who you meet.

This made me laugh - a bunch of lumberjacks to hang on the Christmas Tree!

At home I made a start on dinner as Smallest needed to be out early again for football. I took him while Huffle and Small played FIFA. There were only seven boys tonight, that's half the team missing, though i don't know where they were!

The Granite people have come back to us and it will cost $150 to get the chip repaired. I have been very Canadian and asked if that is the lowest price. Bearing in mind the company said they would make us a chopping board for our inconvenience in the beginning and we never received it! We'll see. In the meantime Huffle has put tape over it so we don't cut ourselves or make it any worse.

Spooky tree shadow on the house.
