Julie's Boggle

The shortage of blog posts lately has not been due to either lack of desire or lack of subject matter, but rather a severe lack of “keyboard time”. There’s a lot I can do on the internet while feeding Jon, but typing is one that is particularly tricky — he does not appreciate my leaning over him to get to the keyboard!

Instead I while away my time on activities that are mainly mouse-driven. Playing Scrabble and checking out friends on Facebook (yes, I succumbed!) and reading my favourite blogs and online news.

So why can’t I blog while Jonathan is asleep? Well that would be because our computers reside in his bedroom. (With space being as expensive as it is in London right now, we only have two bedrooms.) It’s an arrangement that works well enough, with the notable exception of not being able to use them while he’s sleeping!

We have come up with a solution to this problem but it probably won’t be fully implemented until we’re back from SA, late October. The essence of the plan is to move one of the PCs into a corner of the hallway. (This has its own set of inconveniences which we’ll ignore for now.)

But to do that we must first move the things that currently reside in that space — Weber kettle braai and bicycle — into the shed in the garden. After replacing the existing shed, which is in an advanced state of disrepair, with a new one. Which will be done as soon as the handyman we’ve organised finishes his current job. Whew!

And then, with the lovely Jon letting us get more sleep at night, I can finally utilise some of the spare time while he’s napping, to catch up with emails and the blog!
