Well the oul assessor for this Quality award that we are striving for will fly back to the UK later today which should mean no more running round like a headless thingy and life as we know it should return to its normal blissful insanity thereafter! (And not a second too soon!! I was beginning to lose the power of my involuntary twitch because I had to act all normal and semi intelligent for so long, I even had to use big words like 'determination' and 'marmalade' good job he never asked me how to spell them!)

I was telling this to a great friend of mine recently and I still don't quite understand it meself.. but for AGES we have yearned for a broadband internet connection out in rural Ballybackofthemap where we live... then the other week we finally get it.. with much fanfare and trumpets etc... and now that we have it... we cannot find the time to use it. If we spend time in this solidary pursuit at home it detracts from time spent with family and doing school lunches and dinners and homework and training and walking the dogs and drinking wine while chatting and bedtimes and preparation and and reading and stuff 'n' stuff.. its been terrific for hopping on to get some information.. and YES there have been family times there also as the boys ask for permission to buy a truckload of stuff from e-bay.

"Ohhh cool Dad, look theres a secondhand space rocket here for less than 20,000 can we get it!"

Where do they get the stuff from! So, its taking time to get used to it, it seems like something else to find time for, and especially for Sarah who is kinda new to the whole pc thing and typing and finding her way about... can ya remember back to that time when every thing took forever and with one tap of a finger ya could lose hours of effort which caused ya to invent a whole new range in cursing and swearing! Anyway... we'll see how it goes..

The Waltons never had the Internet and they got by!!!!

Well I've been eatin' like a half starved hairy savage for the last week and keeping the carbs wayyyyy down... last night me Da said that I had lost a "fierce" amount of weight! and at Rugby training last Saturday one of the other Dads came up and told me that I was fadin' away!!! So somethnig must be happening other than what I see on the scale which will soon be given a 'name' like other illustrious folk have done here.. only my name might be unpronouncable.. like 'feckity @#~%face' (us Irish are a coarse race!)

Anyhoodle... I have half a million journals to try to catch up on over the next while I also have to live down the embarrassment of losing my team on the 20g challenge!! THAT will take a while (lets never talk of it again! lol) 'Go RUBIPHIRES'

later...xx

UPDATE
The assessor has just left for the airport and I'm delighted to report that we are now apparantly a "Quality Company"... so all the hours and effort over the last year and preparation over the last week or so has paid off...thanks be to Jeebus!

And so, the last two remaining brain cells huddled together for warmth in the echoey chamber and were locked in conversation;

"All the others have gone then?"
"Are ya surprised? sure this Dave fella hasn't talked in ages!"
"He hasn't had donuts in ages either the durty fecker!"
"Mind yer language"
"Sorry mate"
"And he hasn't even bothered to drop a line to explain about the External Quality (ISO) audit next Monday that he's spent all week preparing for"
"That right ... nor did he have the sense to absent himself due to site visits and major projects coming together"
"What he like?"

" I know... brainless "

"Now lets huggle together some more and send him subliminal messages laced with chocolate aromas and candy floss tastes"
"nyuck nyuck nyuck"

And so as we leave our brainless buddies.... one can already feel a nervous *twitch* coming on....

Talk real soon....

Things just come in cycles - don't they! Sometimes there is LOADS of time and opportunity to spend time reading and journalling and posting... and other times no sooner have ya opened your page before all hell breaks lose around ya... thats how it is here right now..

But its a big day.. the start of Sara's challenge so good luck to everyone involved and thanks again Sara for organizing it... (Am starting off at 168.2 W-38.5 H-39).

Isin't it amazing how things can get put into perspective... at this time I can't help thinking about our Kim, her family and all the others affected by Hurricane Gustav - We are all thinking of you kim away from home, and sending every fond wish for a speedy resolution to it all.... I heard on the radio this morning that Gustav was downgraded somewhat..lets hope thats the case....

Theres the phone!.... later..

meself!
