Operation "Get It Together"

Since the birth of Angus, things have been a bit of a struggle around here. Not in a major way...but my work schedule, combined with the month in Australia, then some travel with work had left us in need of some help to get the ball rolling. Phil offered up his services to get our drive straight and after an hour of raking, trimming back weeds and leaf blowing, we had made a great improvement.

Inside the house we are also making some changes. Getting rid of stuff that Angus is growing out of and the feeling is amazingly liberating. We are going to stay on top of this as both of us know we need to get this straight.

In parallel, I am combining this with Operation "Rip Every CD I Own". I am steadliy working through the list. Currently am at "J". Not sure why but it feels like an accomplishment!

Interesting developments in rugby. Quade Cooper mulling over an offer from the Eels. I certainly have mixed feelings about this...I think he would be great for Parramatta but this would likely crush any chance the Wallabies had of winning the World Cup. Still, I guess I have to be positive and see the good in whatever decision he makes. Now, if he were mulling an offer from the Broncos, I would be quite angry at the prospect.

Finally, the weather seems to be cooling a little. We have been crushed by the heatwave since we got back - nice to finally get some more mild weather. Hopefully we are past the worst of it all.
