yes and yes, unfortunately. There's nothing quite like getting to bed at 2am after dealing with sick, overheated overexcited children, tidying the house and somehow stuffing in dinner while watching CSI, and then being woken at 3am by Tokyo, spending an hour on the phone with them, then being woken at 5am by the kids getting up early because the sunlight coming in their windows woke them, and knowing there's no point going back to bed cos you have to get up at 6 to go to work... And sometimes, somewhere in there, I manage to sneak a little astronomy. Binocs is about all I can manage at this time of year tho. Sleep when you die.....! R Good, solid, sensible advice as usual Rob. I suppose intensive care will finally give him the peace & privacy he needs..? I wonder how he'll cope on the surgery ward though? All those uninvited visitors....? Yet another victim of the "Indespensible" culture. Wards stuffed with them, I heard. They get younger every year. A Scot wasn't he? 'Shame. Seemed like a decent enough bloke. Wonder what will happen to the kids? Chris.B |

Bedtime set by the parents, time to get up set by the Sun (and that's 1 big mother to argue with!) I need to get the eldest interested in sunspot watching. I could fit a cheap scope w/ solar filter to his bedroom windowsill, and he could spend 4am-7am at it. Instead he wakes me, then goes down to the conservatory to play Bionicles on the lego website.... hang on, maybe *I* should spend 4-6am sunspot watching? Doh !! Hope the kids get better soon Roll on winter. Then they sleep in til 9am.... And the skies are dark at 6pm so I can do some astronomy before bathtime... -- Mark McIntyre CLC FAQ http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/C-faq/top.html CLC readme: http://www.angelfire.com/ms3/bchambless0/welcome_to_clc.html ----== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= 19 East/West-Coast Specialized Servers - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
