1. Good morning Thursday and may the weather remain fine in that faraway land called home, shelter, refuge.
2. The morning began with pureeing plums, mouleeing cauliflower. Is there no end to the excitement. I feel sorry for Kaaren as she had a tough day at work yesterday. A contract with Vodaphone for networking partnership was to be signed yesterday. At the last minute the Norwegians decided there were some issues. Fortunately the signing took place with a 90 cooling period to sort out the remaining issues. She returned from work at 11.15 and the young man decided to have a bad night. Parenting.
3. A friend who is a swimming instructor and homosexual came to visit yesterday. We took the young man in the pool again and had formal instruction. The event was successful. Whilst Isaac was asleep the friend was open about his homosexuality and told me he knew from the age of 12. He has no confusion about his own sex and does not wish to become a woman, but just happens to prefer men to women. He told me he fought it for years believing there was something wrong with him, and he tried some dubious activities until he eventually came to rest.
Seemingly his sister married but later divorced and is now a lesbian. He spoke about some of his volunteering activities at the Gay and Lesbian help line. Some poor folk are truly tormented.
4. The book about the Spanish Civil War is coming on a pace. I certainly did not appreciate how brutal, particularly the fachists, they were. The bombings and machine gunning of refugees as they escaped. More reading needs to be done about this.
5. Times Online is causing me a problem. I was looking at the Thunderer and wondered whether you meant the article about the cars and the article on Thailand I could not find.
There is not much opportunity for exploring as the young man does not sleep that much.
I will be completely on my own tomorrow as Karstein is flying to Singapore for the week-end.
6. We are about to go for a walk around the lake. My senses tell me I am not a Hannah. Parenting again would not be on my Agenda, however endearing they are.

1 The weather remains sunny and warm. I'm about to leave for Horsham, the point of departure for cycling.
1.1 I remain on the point, now that the SSAFA-of-the-day has been settled. (Well, two points.)
2.1 Ah, caring-for-babies. It has to be done. The need, the constant, daily need to care for and to nurture will remain after you've gone.
2.1.1 No, I'm sure that you are not a Hannah. Indeed, you are far from being one such.
3 Look at The Thunderer column for the Times of 17 March. (It may not be available on timesonline.co.uk.) In any case, bearing 2.1.1 in mind, have a look at the virtual edition of the newspaper.
4 Other things when I return.
