BLOG BRITAIN
OK so who else joined in with Blog Britain? It was just an ordinary day but fascinating to be part of the "One Day In History" project.Here is my entry.
Just another day. I woke up at 06:40 to get the kids ready for school. I had a discussion with Deborah and the kids about tidying and cleanliness. That has certainly changed in between generations! We had breakfast – cereals, toast, coffee and orange juice. A much more European breakfast nowadays than the old traditional bacon and eggs. Of course we watched BBC Breakfast while we ate.
The boys got on their bikes to Portchester Secondary School ready for registration at 08:20, Michael on his mountain bike and David on his BMX.
I went off for my dental appointment at 09:00. Not good news. I need teeth out, orthodontal work, implants putting in, bridge work doing. As it is a private dental surgery this could get expensive.
I cycled to work as well as there are no parking spaces at work due to the Government’s Green Plan. I feel virtuous as if I am doing my bit for the environment though. It is probably just as quick as well!
I work as an IT Consultant in a major American Bank based here in Bournemouth. What are my tools of the trade? A desktop computer with links to the company intranet, the outside world and the internet, an e-mailing system, an instant messenger system, a phone and a brain.
Deborah had made me a packed lunch, which included sandwiches, a packet of crisps and a chocolate treat. I had 2 cups of Latte during the day, which seems quite unhealthy as I never drink any water during the day.
I sent an acceptance mail to take my motorcycle test in December and had a scan of the news online. Too many wars still going on. Some things we never learn.hat used to do work
After work the kids have their extra-curricular activities. Scarlett went for her piano lesson and I took David to football training. While he was doing that I went for a training swim at the local leisure centre.
Afterwards, Deborah cooked a lovely meal of roast lamb, potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower cheese and onion gravy. Mmmmm! This was accompanied by a Chilean red wine from Tescos that seemed very tasty but was only about £4 a bottle.
While the kids were either watching SKY TV in the front room or using their MSN Messenger to talk online to their friends, Deborah and I watched thee new Robin Hood TV Series that we had recorded on SKY+ the week before.
