Force of nature

Mathew's birthday today. He's three years old and a force of nature, very definite about everything, nothing wishy washy about that boy. He's got a Wiggles party on Sunday.

Enjoyed the swimming pool with Annika yesterday going round and round the 'twirly thing' as she calls it. It's a wonder I'm not black and blue from all the kicks of kids (loads of them) pushing by. A bit of a nightmare for me but Annika loves it. She's still sleeping it off.

The Reserve Bank put interest rates up 0.25% yesterday, and are promising more in Nov and Dec. Lovely. Now the mortgage payment will increase and US social security payments decrease because the Aussie dollar has increased against the greenback, a double whammy. Should not complain I suppose, the last 15 months or so have been good. But I will anyway.

Shopping today with Annika. She'll probably sting me for something, and I'll probably let her. We are going to look for a turtle for Mathew and pick up a parcel from the post office which I hope is Mathew's main birthday present.
