Things I have learned over the past couple of weeks.

[reynardo]

1) When checking your handbag to see what makes the security beepers at every store go off, do not ignore the now-empty pill packets. They have security tags tucked deep inside them somewhere.

2) The day you wear your very good clothes to work for the interview will be the day your tyre goes flat.

2a) Remember you have a pile of old clothes in the boot (trunk) and use them.

3) When he wants to, the dog can be very stealthy.

4) Fashion Long-sleeved tops are not always as warm as they look.

5) The boy is now 13. Remember what you were like at 13 - he is old enough to go off by himself sometimes.

6) The boy is now 13. Remember what you were like at 13 and worry like hell.

We are up at the snowfields in NSW, or at least close enough that it's not too expensive to stay here. And it's almost dinner time and I am terrified at how unfit I am and how tired I will be tomorrow. One of the guys says he will have me doing "helicopters" by Thursday. I have an image of myself buried head-first in the snow, my legs in the skis waving vaguely in the shape of helicopter rotor blades...

I've got quite a number of humans on their (very long) skiing feet in the past, without smacking even one of them!

Past it now, me :-)
