Calum has gotten himself a part time job which made me very proud of him. He’s at college so the extra money is something he could do with. He’ll be one of those annoying telesales callers so please don’t hate him, hehehe. He’s a great kid and almost eighteen. Sometimes he makes me feel old, hehehe.
He was also planning on clearing his room for the project. I think the plan is to clear the space where he wants the desk built so not a full clear out. Still it will hopefully be enough to get the job done. That is the main thing after all though I would have preferred he did a complete tidy up. I suppose that is just the parent in me.
Magz made some small apple and blueberry pies which one or two of them ended up in my lunch box. They were delicious but I did miss the custard. Well we can’t have everything. She has more apples to make some more with. Hopefully she’ll make a tart this weekend. I will have to wait and see. Though I don’t think she got custard so that might be a bad sign. Maybe I’ll need to ask nicely, hehehe.
I’m working on another poem about the First World War. It was a haunting image of a blue on blue incident that has been fallowing me around for the past week or more. I post the first version in Absolute Write poetry critique section to get some feed back. Now I need to work on it to flesh the imagery out. I also have one or two clichés to remove. It is so easy to use them without realising you’re doing it. Still that is why I use the forums to help keep me straight.
