Hot, fat, tired and grumpy. Enough already...

Imagine being 33 weeks preganant in this ridiculous heat!
It is a little cooler today (below 30°!) but Trx has really been suffering this last week or so.
feel for her, and its all she can do to get through a day. And this is the last day of term as well, so the kids will all be at home tomorrow and that in many ways makes life more difficult.
I do hope on Sunday all the teachers in the congregation - thats about half the people - don't start on how wonderful it is to be able to take some time off.
Some of us have stressful, demanding jobs to do EVERY day, with no six weeks break. I am hoping to get a few days next week, but its looking increasingly unlikely at the moment.
We hope she can hang on until at least 36 weeks, but its proving quite a challenge.
Ordered a TENS machine today, but we still dont really have a plan for the Big Day.
So many people have offered to be on standby and sit on the the rkids. But who to choose.
it's a nice problem to have I suppose.

SO much work on. Finished the two Room Folders this morning.
Southampton was a bit more difficult because we can now no longer use the Council's pictures and realised we have quite a few gaps in out own collection.
Went off to Ocean Village in the sunshine yesterday afternoon and spent a pleasant hour down there taking some of my own. And the are not too bad either - chose a good one for the cover, re-wrote a couple of bits of txt and everything is looking great.
Just page one too crackon with now.

We had a big argument earlier this week about the FYEO advert which I still don't want to be on there and represents a direction I really don't want the poster to go in.
I think there will be objections from some of the more family based venues that host for us/ And I really can't get my head around how the Council of Faith can possibly be OK with it.

But then at least one of their committee is , and I quote, "the least religious person I know."
How is that funny?

The compromise (which I am still uncomfortable with) is that I will leave the entertainment section and D can finish it off, dropping that ad in at the expense of whatever he feels we could lose.
What really pi55es me off is that I "should have said".

I DID say, more than once, when they were first approached.
Now its too late and the sale has been closed.

"I didn't know you felt that strongly about it."
"But I told you how I felt about it."
"Yes, but I didn't think it mattered that much."
"Why would I say it then?"
"You're being really silly about this. Its a ridiculous objection."

Sorry, rant over...

Shame, I think the poster had a lot of life left in it. becoming now little more than an advertising hoarding.

Kink is here again. She has brought with her a CD of her own pictures of Southampton - Mayflower Park and the Old City Walls. Some are very good. She has an artistic interpretation and an eye for good composition. We will use some in our publications.

Food time. I wonder if I have any money left?
