Saturday was pouring with lovely rain glorious rain. We haven't seen rain for a while so i was excited. It's also great as i can now could my millimetres in my new rainguage. We decided to head to Spotlight to buy some more timber blinds for Hayley's room, Kirrily's room and the study to get rid of our rather unattractive verticle drapes. We got there in the pouring rain, ran inside and to my surprise, they had the sizes we needed for our windows. then came the interesting part. we were all packed safely in the car, blinds included (just) and then we headed home. Now Qld drivers are pretty dodgy but i soon discovered just how dodgy. An old man who obviously had no vision, reveresed out at full speed just as i was behind him. I honked and honked my horn and he must have missed my car my millimetres. Never mind 'sorry i didn't look' or 'sorry' at all, he just waved and laughed and drove off. I think i must have an idiot magnet attached to my car somewhere as i seem to find all the crazy drivers when i'm out. Glad he missed though. he would have got all 3 panels of the passenger side of the car had he got me.

And yesterday didn't start well either. David suggested we go out for breakfast for a change. Yummo. he then decided at the last minute that I should make some food for Hayley, which also means preparing a thermos of boiling water to heat her bottle while we have no portable microwave.

Water boiled, pouring it into the thermos and OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I poured it all over my thumb and hand. Lucky for me it was not quite boiled or i would have been double ouch. I have a lovely red mark of running water down my hand now.

Kirrily found it rather funny. she kept saying "mummy hurt her hand. She went ahhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". She is still laughing today. :-)
