He’s only taking a few steps at a time, last week it was a couple at a time, breaking away from the couch or whatever he happened to be holding on to, this week he’s up to five, and you know there’s no going back from there.
It marks the end of the first phase of innocence in his life, I already know from his determination and inquisitiveness that he’s going to be different from Reed in the way he operates, they’re similar and yet so different. Where Reed was cautious, Danny just does it. Whether that’s good or bad I haven’t really worked out yet, Reed learnt to go backwards down the stairs, Danny doesn’t seem to care, he only wants to go forwards…
Its been a wee while since the last update, mainly due getting put through the wringer at work, and coming out emotionally mind f***ed. You get taught all the crap about Monopoly’s at school/varsity, but like everything else you learn there, nothing really prepares you for the real thing. It’s fair to say I work with some trying people, some of them need to get out more… bout all I can say about it without getting myself in trouble, however it was nice to get through it in one piece, just wish I didn’t have to do it in the first place. If anyone ever needs to know how to mindlessly waste 3 weeks running around in every decreasing circles – just let me know – I have the perfect job for you…
On the positive side the last few weeks work will give us a nice healthly injection.
As anyone who has been watching the temperature gadget on the right will know, it looks like summer is about to come to an end. Not that I’m complaining, it’s been one of the best ones I can remember for a while. Means the boat gets put away for another winter, and hopefully by next summer I can actually start to use the thing again without feeling guilty spending the whole day out skiing. Who knows with a little bit of luck I might have myself and new 4 year old ski buddy.
That’s about all for now, one more cheer to Hamilton. Looks like your now officially the New Zealand home of motorsport with the news that the Rally is also heading south. Go Auckland Council’s – you officially suck beyond all belief.
