Well, I'm back on the farm. The Lada made it here relatively painlessly. This time I pushed along at a hundred and the car seemed keen enough. But there are still too many strange noises for my peace of mind. Fingers crossed none of them are important. If you are planning on telling me to get a new car, then you will need to get in line :)
The weather has taken a turn for the worse, or better, depending on your point of view. The rain is good for the pasture, obviously. But its not really much fun working outside when its raining. Fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your point of view, the showers don't last long and and are not so heavy.
Other than that, the last couple of days have been quite good. I have managed to finish work by six, six thirty. Which means ten, ten and a half hour days rather than the twelve, thirteen hour days that I, well everyone really, was doing before I left. By the time February drew to a close, I was pretty much spent. I don't want to go there again.
March was much easier. I slept in. I stayed up late watching TV and surfing. I did a bit of work on the car. I did a bit of work around my sister's place. Its starting to come along nicely. She is getting her floors polished some time this month, which means the house has to be emptied. I'm not sure that she really realises how much work she got herself in for. And I did a bit of writing. Quite a bit more than I have done recently. But it was hard work. Its going to take much more discipline than I have shown so far if I want to make anything of this.
And that's about it really. Sad but true.
I have some thoughts I want to put down at some point, but perhaps they can wait for next time. So until then.
