My week-end was pretty quiet. Went to visit my brother in Bruthen (East Gippsland) on Saturday with my parents' and the kids'. Yesterday was spent mostly catching up on washing . Today has been the usual combo of housework and running around after the boys' with sport and school. Also had the pest control guy here after rescheduling from last week. Mowed the lawns this afternoon; they are going (growing?) mad at the moment with the two days sun/week-long rain weather cycle we've been having lately. Takes me about two hours to do them, and that's not including the fifteen minutes spent cussing at the mower while I try to get it started. Briefly considered whipper-snipperering, but decided that I couldn't, and for the safety of my limbs and digits, probably shouldn't.
