after today I have three more days left of work, and then one day of playing golf with my work team-mates and enjoying a bbq. And THEN, I have four weeks off. 4 weeks. F o u r w e e k s. I'm really looking forward to the break from work. I have not been enjoying it of late. Yet I'm still thankful for all it provides, that it allows ange, lucy and I to live and eat and hear music and drive to friends and save up spending money for four weeks of holiday. Thanks Fujitsu.

Four weeks.

Any ideas for what to do? Already planned:
- 1.5 weeks in nelson
- 1 week at National Youth Camp

"The child's sob in the silence curses deeper than the strong man in his wrath" (Elizabeth Browning)


Bitter are the tears of a child:Sweeten them.
Deep are the thoughts of a child:Quiet them.
Sharp is the grief of a child:Take it from him.
Soft is the heart of a child:Do nothing to harden it.
(Lady Pamela Wyndham Glenconner)
