I've been sitting here trying to think of something clever to say with month names, but my brain is tired.

The best I can come up with is:

April may march.

How about....

August June & April may march. 

(August - meaning respected and dignified).  :)  Actually, January can be a name as well (as in January Jones).

This weekend we are going to the Lake district for a big orienteering event.  we will be staying with some other members of our club in a village hall.  The air mattresses are packed ready.

One of the areas we are running on is an area of special scientific interest so we have been asked to clean and disinfect our shoes beforehand. I did everyone's shoes this morning.  I managed to muddle up which shoes people were taking so I've done 11 or 12 pairs altogether.

My hands stink of Jeyes fluid

We all had a great time in the Lake District over the Easter weekend.  James and I were in our usual supporting roles on our respective orienteering courses, Dai did ok and Elizabeth came second overall on W18 long.  Sadly there was also a W18 elite course so they didn't award prizes on the course Elizabeth was competing in.

The weather has been great now we are back home which means I've been able to get loads of washing clean and James and I cleaned, washed and dried all the sports shoes yesterday.

My dad had a cataract operation yesterday morning.  He was only at the hospital for the morning.  He is not allowed to drive for a couple of weeks or so while things settle down.  He said when he puts his glasses on the vision is blurred in the eye that was operated on.  Not sure is this will get better with time or if he needs a new prescription for his lenses.

My mother had a cataract removed a long time ago. She kept it in a container with formaldehyde. She would show it people and asked them what they thought it was. It eventually disintegrated over the years. I think she FINALLY threw it away because it wasn't around when we cleaned out her house. Yeah, my mother was weird.

So...today was my dad's birthday; my mom and I took him to brunch at a place we'd never been to before, and then we traveled to the Santa Barbara Art Museum to take a look at some artwork from the Italian Renaissance period. (My parents have become interested in traveling to Italy (altho they went there for the first time a year and a half ago), so we wanted to look at some art.) It was an interesting experience. Then we went to the beach in Carpinteria and walked around a bit, getting some exercise... and stopped at an Italian eatery in Ventura for an early dinner. Now we're @ home, relaxing.

Busy weekend with us.

James goes to Scout camp tonight until Sunday afternoon.

Tomorrow morning we are dropping Elizabeth at a friends house v early so she can go with them to the airport to fly to Turkey for the week.  It is the world schools orienteering championship and Elizabeth is in the school team to represent England in the senior girls category.

Later in the morning Dai will drop me at a park and ride on the outskirts of Oxford.  I am going to Oxford Folk Festival for the weekend with the morris dancers.

Dai is driving across to the Forest of Dean for the British Orienteering Championships.

Back to work on Monday!

As for me, I am still on the hunt for employment. This morning I even went to a jobclub (held on Monday mornings at the V.A.C.E., the place where I took my accounting course last year) and discussed various approaches to finding a specific type of job.


I hope you find a great job. Sucks for me, I'm 26 and still trying to get my Bachelor's. I know that age doesn't matter but this economy makes me nervous and uneasy.

If a person has their Bachelor's, like you have, at least you have that done.

she thinks I just throw away clothes because I don't want them.  I wouldn't throw away clothes unless they a least had a whole in them.  My mom was raised with her parents always blaming her on things and that's the way she decided to raise me when I was a kid.  At one point of time she said she was sorry she raised me this way, but see she still seems to blame  me on things.

Thanks... although we've actually put together a list; many of these items are on there. We just need to gather up all these items and pack 'em!

Jackets will be necessary on this trip because we're going to Alaska, and even in May it can be cooler up there. So we will definitely make sure we're prepared for cold weather.

Especially at the end of the cruise, since we'll be coming into the port of Seattle. (That's another thing; this will be my first cruise that doesn't involve L.A.!)

I should also add that we have arranged for a shuttle service to pick us up at home and take us to the airport. They'll also take us back home, when we return to L.A. the following Sunday (the 17th). It'll be cheaper than leaving our car in long-term parking for a week.

Originally, we booked in an interior stateroom, since that was the only affordable room left... but we got a special offer for which we could upgrade; so we are now going to be in a mini-suite, which will be a better accommodation for three people.
