Dull Week

Thursday is finally here marking the end of another week of death by PowerPoint. Final exam tomorrow morning and then jump on the train home. Frustrating though as with most collingwood courses it has been a three day course squeezed into 5 days with 0830 starts, an hour and a half for lunch and finished before four. Oh and as it is a navy course we were given Wednesday afternoon for personnel development. Hey ho only a 45 minute exam to do in the morning then I can head to the station.

Other than the course it has been a bit strange this week in the news. What with the pope resigning, North Korea conducting nuclear tests and half the population waking up and finding out that they had shergar for dinner. Mind you I have been feeling a bit horse recently, just thought it was a cold and not the lasagne. I really don't see what the fuss is about though as there are all these companies selling us strange meets such as alligator and ostrich what does it matter if there is a bit of horse in the burger it all adds flavour and is better than breadcrumbs or vegetables.

It will be good to get home and it is half term next week so no morning runs to the nursery, yippee. Just need to work out how to keep a 3 and a 4 year old entertained all week without going bankrupt. Gone are the days that we could have sent them out as chimney sweeps. Hopefully it will be dry and mild so I can take them on a picnic or down the beach.

Now the weather is getting milder I may try and venture out for a longer ride on the new bike. I have been on plenty of 8 mile rides but am itching to get out further and crack 30 or 40 miles to see if I can still do it. The new bike is much faster than my old one so as long as the hills are reasonable I should be fine.

Well another ramble over and roll on tomorrow when I go home to Debbie and the little ones.
