Helen:

This week’s blog from Tim and Nicky is late, due to my being hospitalised over the weekend. I am allergic to bees, and was stung by one, whilst standing in my kitchen. Time to rethink being a bee-keeper!

Nicky:

Well, I still have my toes strapped after than unfortunate dump incident. I haven’t been back in the garden since. I think my house is turning against me. My CD player is only working when it wants to and my mini turntable has decided that it will jump all my records. So, out they go! Is it me, or am I missing a hidden message. Maybe its trying to tell me the lotto numbers for Saturday night, or maybe I am just paying way too much attention to all the things that need replacing and fixing around my house. I am still surrounded by angry people and I am finding out the more the whine at me, the more I am feeling the need to say, “oh, will you just shut up for 5 minutes.” It’s not like they have got a leg missing, but really, I don’t give a s$%t.

On a happier note, I have done 7 squares on my bedspread, and at this rate it will be winter 2011 not 2012. Oh yeah, I am motoring away there. We had a family BBQ on Saturday. I had a few bubbly wines with my sisters-in-law. It was good. I tried to encourage them to go another bottle, but their hubbies rushed them off. I think I’m a bad influence. Hook in I say, or as some say… game on. Oh well, I partied on at a bbq down the road (actually it was at Helen’s place), and a good time was had by all. We had a bonfire and a few jokes flew around. We all had a good laugh.  Well, I better get cracking on another square, I have last week’s number to beat.

Tim:

Patience is a virtue. I have found that the longer I go without a TV the more patient I become. At work, I have found that some blokes always irritate me to the point of my brain imploding, like a supernova star,,, but just occassionally I do step bac k and just appreciate them for who they really are.

I just started guitar lessons and have been practicing at home. The urge to pick the guitar up and flog it into splinters over the first piece of sheet music that happens to be floating around on the floor does overcome me sometimes. But, then again, being in the martial arts for some years has taught me that even though some smart 16 year old kid coming into the club telling me that he can do a double half breasted back spinning round house corkscrewing it down to a leg sweep and finishing it off with a back fist, need not look any further for a flogging, he’s about to get one.

So, in the end, patience is worth waiting for… Perhaps you would like to share your stories of having to wait for something and found it oh so sweeter when you finally got what you waited so long to have.
