A great excuse

It's raining and overcast, not a day you want to be out walking.

We're sort of waiting for materials to arrive in order to proceed with the bathroom, they've done as much as they can without a cabinet and the new bath faucet parts. We ended up choosing a buttermilk yellow paint and it looks bright even on a day like today. But I think (hope) it will tie in nicely with all the other stuff once it gets in.

We'll go out to dinner later on as it's L's birthday, great excuse for not cooking.

K and I had a battle over math homework last night, but we started too late and being tired never helps, he just stops listening. It'll be a good break for both of us when he goes on his Montreal field trip. His school sent a notice out that everything's a 'go' as the swine flu is not deemed too much of a risk at this point. L's school also sent out a note about taking precautions and staying home when you're sick.

He he maths and mothers. I had the same problem with my daughter a few years back. Except you are good at it no doubt given your tech background. That colour for the bathroom sounds gorgeous. Imagine in winter too - it will be warm. I hope you enjoyed your birthday meal. How old, 17?

That yellow sounds so pretty. I know you'll be happy you picked it when winter rolls around again.

Oh math. Roxi has reached a point (Geometry) where I can no longer help her easily. It is better to just send her back to school with questions than to try to figure it out. However, I am not a math person!

Happy Birthday to your sweet L! Many beautiful wishes to her (and you!).

Lilly, thanks for the colour reassurance and the math support, much appreciated. Yes, she's 17 now!

Japra, thanks for L's birthday wishes and the colour advice (from an artist, no less!) So far, I'm ok with K's math, but L's Math is all Greek to me, luckily she doesn't need me for that!
