January 3rd, 2007

All things considered it’s been
a great day, the guests got away
without mishap (apart from a
few phone calls to check
destination addresses),

the missus is in good shape,
sort of happy-sad the kids
(grown up now) left to get
on with their lives, as she knew
they would – bringing an end
to golden days.

The washings out drying and
most chores are done; for me,
well I’m too tired to think about
it – I hope the son stationed
in Iraq’s safe, he says he’s okay
but I reckon he’s like me, can’t
wait to get home again.

The cricket’s been crap, that
short spell of rain alone made
today worth a few beers,
which I’ve had, and the missus
is on the way back from the
movies.

Yeah, all things
considered – it’s been easy.
A pizza for tea kind of day.
