What Bank Holiday ?
Aug. 27th, 2002 09:07 amWell, the weekend was spent playing Bridge, watching 24 and moving the twins out of our room.
( 24, including spoilers )
The Bridge was a lot of fun; although Dom (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bateleur) has already commented, so I'll refrain (although I'm not sure I agree that his example was a good sacrifice - as game wasn't on).
The twins now have their own room and seem happy enough. Apart from Ryan's teething moods, that is. More importantly - Dom and I can now sleep much better without them snuffling around their cot all the time (or was that Ems ?). The downside is that I still have a lot of clearing up to do, and a wardrobe to heavily prune.
The worst thing to happen, happened yesterday and was the collapse of the Playstation 2. It died during Final Fantasy X and now seems unable to play certain PS2 games. So Dom has contacted Sony to ask for a replacement. At least that will force me to get back to my writing (much neglected whilst I take a break from editing Gifting - the working title for my book). Plus, I now have final Fallen Star preparations to make before Sunday's start.
Yesterday also marked the first bank holiday since 1991 which has not been a holiday for me (and Dom, having taken the previous week as leave, had forgotten about it). Admittedly, I never made much of the August break anyway apart from as a day off. I always preferred Xmas and Easter because both included more actual bank holidays (so less leave for me to take). The August day was always appreciated though - filling in the gap between the Queen's Official Birthday (which civil servants receive as leave - the day after the Whitsun Monday) and Christmas. Once again, I felt strange not being at work (or, perhaps I should say, not being not at work).
Oh - and it's Chris Fox's birthday today, so I sent him an email...
