Reactions from my mother...

I was watching some telly and the voiceover guy mentioned Canberra. I hear mum almost yell "Canberra!" in the kitchen, then she races in to see what's on the TV.

Cool :)

So how'd you pull up after the weekend?

I did better than expected, considering that my back was really crappy on Friday night, and I was lying on my bed at 9pm reading instead of socialising, wondering how I was going to get through the weekend. But it rallied after a good night's sleep and Sat and Sun weren't too bad.

I wasn't surprised to not see you at all Sunday morning :)

I've actually done really well. Monday I was getting around fairly easily, though getting tired quickly. And yesterday I was the best I've been in ages, though again, faded quickly.

And today... not too bad either. Took me two hours to get out of bed, but you get that. Need to spend the day in front of the comp, and not entirely sure I have much concentration, but all up quite pleased with how I'm doing.

hehehe... I made you get up and dance :P

It was just really funny. You would have thought they'd just said "... and Lola Heap is to be made Prime Minister!"

I still can't help but think of that classic line from "Mother and Son": "Canberra! Well, well, well, well, well! I knew they had the government, but I didn't know anybody worked there!"
