Maybe for you.

My dad phoned me yesterday (birthday wishes etc.) and one of my estranged uncles (on my mother's side) has sent me a nice birthday card to my dad's address. We were both a bit gobsmacked at this gesture, as relations between dad and I with my mother's side of the family aren't exactly very good.

Time to use Google translator and send a thank you letter.

I was waiting for a phone call, which finally came at 3am. And it's ironic because just yesterday I was saying to Batman how much better I've been sleeping of late!

Hope you sleep better tonight

I'm forcing myself to be optimistic and chirpy - the weather's helping for once. About to have lunch with a lady I knew when our kids went to toddler groups together. Those were the days... she's a granny now Then I'm off to get my phone sorted out - new contract - although I sense a battle looming as I want to reduce my outgoings on the upgrade and suspect they won't want to let me

Fair enough. I have a mate living in California and if I want to talk to him, I have to phone at 3-4am in the morning, as they are 8 hours behind us, unless it is a weekend.

Another contact in the states is 6 hours behind. I phoned her up at midday, thinking it was 6pm, but it was 6am (duh). Luckily, she was already up (for work) and said don't worry about it. Genuine mistake.

Timezones are easy to forget. Luckily, most of my foreign contacts (mainly relatives in Germany, Switzerland and Sweden) are only 1 hour ahead, just like Poland I believe?

Yes, Poland's central European time, so no biggie.

I'm a bit tired around the edges today but surviving, and the day is shaping up to be a fair bit less frustrating than yesterday. So nothing to grump about really, but watch this space!

Excellent! Here's to more mountain shifting today

Definitely! I'm paying a heavy price, though, because I'm getting up at about 6am all week - which is NOT me at all as you know - but I'm getting masses done. Hopefully all this means I'll be able to get away next week, and with a clear conscience, and without having killed anyone, which is always a plus...

Let me know how you manage that part

I have managed to capitulate to emotional blackmail from my surviving parent - and am already regretting it. Still, it does have the advantage of reminding me that my offspring aren't that bad after all...
