More rambles
1) The world is out to get me - I'm not paranoid!
John's friend good humouredly tells him his lunch is 'poncy'.
I make the boys lunches still! Please don't go there!
Also I keep telling myself that the lunches I make are so boring.
John says to friend why is the lunch poncy? He says look at the bread. John replies 'Bog standard brown loaf bought in X local shop'. He says look what's in it. (Baby spinach leaves, chicken, mayonaise, pesto). John concedes
Same friend eats John's (poncy) lunch and wants more ...
On a separate note a friend of ours gives out about Tommy writing too many blog posts as he 'has to' spend too much time reading them. I asked him had he read mine. He said yes but it was 'pretentious'. I was hurt.
See the world is really out to get me - poncy lunches, pretentious blog posts ...
2) Examples of why I'll miss John
I am very much a morning person.
This morning I woke up to hear the pump going (which pressurizes the water system in the house). This is highly unusual as everyone is normally zzzzzzzzzz
I lie there for a bit and it suddenly dawns on me that one of the boys must be in the shower, unusual me thinks. Fifteen minutes later I realise one of the boys is still in the shower (therefore must be using hot water to gently waken him up ... to gently ease himself into the day). Fail. Me thinks there will be no hot water left if I am last to shower by the time I have come back from walking the dogs!
Anyway said son turns out to be John who has to write an English essay before school. We have breakfast, then he writes essay. Later he throws essay to me and says 'Read that'. The title was 'Your perfect place'. He described how for most people this would be a nice quiet tranquil place. No for John his favourite place was the noisy, smelly small airport in Vancouver where he learned to fly. He went on to describe how much and why he loved this place.
My day hadn't yet started yet and I had got a lot of enjoyment.
I'll miss John
Still me thinks there may be a lot more hot water ...
