I'n not entirely sure what he did. I went upstairs and he was measuring; then my brother came home from his girlfriend's and said that my dad'd sprained his foot.

edit: I just found out how he did it. He'd taken some grass cuttings to Thornley Station tip and fell wrong.

Yeah most people in England say mum, but up here in the north we say mam. not sure why.

What is it about the UK and "the North"? I thought it was just Ireland, but now it's also Brittain. And now that I think of it, Scotland's to the north, too. I cannot really make too much of it: Michigan has an "Up North" as well that that we all refer to. There must be something to this concept though.

As for dad, I had visions of him being attacked by his motorcycle kickstand...

the north of England, usually considered a barren wasteland by the south; who can rarely name a place there other than newcastle.

He didn't get attacked by the kickstand, the cruel irony is that he was planning to go out on his bike yesterday but the sprain stopped him.

Ah, the imponderables. A place of island dreaming amidst the utterly slow-moving day. I thought when you had a lot of work to do, the day was suppose to fly by?

My island dreaming includes Ewan McGregor, Adam Garcia, Edward Norton or Nathan Fillion. Um, sounds like a good way to spend the day...or the rest of my life.

But back to real life. Easter was just another day, but a warm one...so that was good. Went riding, but my pony has been having some issues. Had a stomach ache on Wednesday...and yesterday was acting a little punky. He got one of his vaccinations on Friday and I think he was upset. He got it in his chest and now has a big swelling...it's grapefruit size...his own little boob. HK, have you been using my horse as a test subject for those guinea pig boobs? Hopefully it will go down before our show next week.

Hope y'all had nice holidays.

I've heard of Newcastle, but wretched colonist that I am, I couldn't place it North or South! You know how it is: the British Isles are some bunch of anglicised, arrogant Europeans that we had to save in WWII. Can't be bothered about issues with geography or that fact that there's a remarkable cultural depth there. Nope. Not us. We're Americans. Now if you had oil things might be different...

Sorry if you are reading this twice, I am posting at both the water cooler and the pub.

I am away from my computer all week doing soldering training (I found out as I walked into the building this morning). I may try to come in and check before work, though that depends on me actually getting up to do so. I may also try to find someone's computer to use, and if I can't, then I'll have a lot of catching up to do next week. Y'all have a shiny one!

Well, technically you could say both. There's Newcastle-upon-tyne in the north and Newcastle-under-lyme in the south. Upon tyne is far greater.
