Day 5

9 Sleeps to go! It doesn't feel like a Saturday here. It is hard to keep up with the days and the time - mainly because my body clock is two hours difference and I am working everyday. They usually have a BBQ lunch on Sunday's. That is nice - actually having a lunch hour. I am prone to sitting at my desk and having a bite rather than taking the full hour, or whatever it is.

Apparently lewis has a black eye - poor bugger - he slipped over in Riley's room and hit his face on a box or something.

Riley is walking flat out now. I have only been away for 6 days and feel like I have missed so much. Ben said that he has been an absolute angel and walks nearly everywhere (except when he is in a hurry and crawls like a bat-out-of-hell).

I mentioned that I was reading a book.

Angels and Demons (I think that is what it is called) by Dan Brown. This book is a bit weird but I cant seem to put it down. My eyes are litterally falling out of my head; on account of me staying up late (10pm LOL) reading.

Now I was christened, did my first holy communion etc and both my kids have been christened - but I dont believe I am a religious person. God, Shmod - we will never know the truth. Anyway, this book is all about religion, god, illuminati, science and to tell you the truth - I can barely understand a word (lots of italian and other languages are quoted often) and the scientific words. But I am enthralled. I am completely in suspense every time I pick the book up - right until I put it down. I have this sense of urgency (regarding the plot) and by the end of it and am thinking "is this a true story?". I have never known any religious goings on i.e. the vatican, pope stuff, artifacts, stories or factual information - so I am learning a bit about this, wether it is true or not. I am only about 1/3 of my way through the book and I dont think it will take me long to finish it. I feel like skipping to the end to see if the Vatican actually blew up with the antimatter container! Do I sound smart LOL.

Anyway - better get cracking - lots to do today. Not before I make a coffee and have a smoke!

Have a good day and remember: Today may be your last. Wear your favourite perfume, tell your loved ones how much you care, take a photo (or two), be happy that you are alive, don't sweat the little things & have fun!
