Our life is a little different and perhaps that is why I thought I would start a blog, or maybe it is just to keep a record of those things that go on here so we can look back and celebrate that that we achieve and not beat oneself up for the things that don't quite get done.
Today is Sunday and I am at Kinloch as John has done my usual Sunday run with the kids of 160 km round trip to take the kids to swimming lessons on a Sunday at Alpine Aqualand in Frankton.  The reason I am not doing the run is due to not being able to swim with the kids after a small operation last week.  A small though extremely painful operation that still has me downing tramadol, voltaren and paracetamol on a regular basis.
This operation is hopefully the last needed as after three in a year, I have had enough of not having the possibility of boundless energy.
The date is 26 August, only 5 days till Spring.  My notebook with a massive list of things we need to do is still in the car in Frankton, though this week is going to need to be all about the restaurant and everything on our Qualmark list, prior to our inspection on 20 September.  Things are going well at Glenorchy Lake House and the Trading Post with the business finally getting to the point that with a good member of staff year round the business will be able to sustain itself without my day to day input.  This week I will advertise for that staff member.
