Fock. That's unbearable.

Yeah bloody awful for everyone, but as a parent it really does hit home. Honestly don't know how they are doing it, his partner actually found her! Truly is utterly tragic.

Welcome to my world.
Out of the 8 hours work time today, I have spent 6 hours on calls. At least mine are all during normal office hours i guess.

I'm spending the day in bed watching TV, with the a/c cranked up to 11...... it's about a million degrees outside this mofo. Damn, it's hot.

Busy day at the home office, tidied and cleaned the workshop and garden, showed some family the workshop (they want to build a home office in their garden), eaten a pizza and now sat in Midwife Triage as Mrs Cav has been having a little bit of leakage over the last few days.. just a check to see if its amniotic fluid or not.

Baby Cav is due in a week. We're home now, Midwives did a speculum to assess and were confident the fluid was not amniotic.

A speculum?? Great, now there's a tool you don't get to use every day.

Just cleaned the oven using our home brew cleaner (IPA, Distilled Vinegar, Lemon Juice, Bicarb) and now I think I'm drunk through inhalation. This is a bizarre feeling. I feel sick as a parrot! (<I've never understood that saying)

It comes from "Parrot Disease"..... which killed a lot of people back in the 50s or 60s. I'm guessing in Africa, or wherever it is that parrots live. Heck, we have wild parrots in SoCal, so it could have been anywhere, I suppose.

Hmmm.... it turns out that parrots are native to almost anywhere that's warm. Who knew??

Hooked up the tin can and headed to Burnham on sea for a few days.
A well needed break.
