The Easter weekend was a busy one for us.  There is always a big orienteering competition at Easter.  This year it was reasonably close to us so we stayed at home and drove across every day.

Friday was a sprint course around an army barracks.  We all did ok, but no prizes. Afterwards we picked up Elizabeth, she had been on a field trip as part of her earth sciences course.

Saturday was middle distance day.  I didn't like the area particularly - it was brambley underfoot and very damp and slippery.  I finished in last place in my age group.  :-\\

On Sunday we were in a different area that I liked much better.  I was actually quicker overall even though my course was longer!  It was very muddy, I saw two people who gone in a marsh up to their waist.

On Monday it was a relay day.  Only Dai and Elizabeth went across to this.  I went instead to a village nearby to do some Morris dancing at their Easter market.  It had been rearranged to be held indoors as the weather was poor, so we ended up dancing on a stage.

I had a phone interview with a new prospective employer, went really well. I have a face to face meeting with the director and two managers on the 18th, but it is in St Louis, so going to drive there 17th, stay overnight (they are paying for the stay and reimbursing my mileage-a good sign), and interview/meet and learn more about the company next day. Really excited, it's an established company that is starting to really spread out and grow in my particular field, and only getting bigger! Getting in at the relative beginning of the growth, being part of building something would be refreshing, and I would actually use my skill set. Best part? It is work at home.  :) I am crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!

Most of us in California could say the same thing, but that's kinda how it is when you're close to a fault line (and other minor ones) in the ground. :o Still, after experiencing a powerful quake in 1994, I sure hope to not have to go through it again (but it could happen).

This is one of the reasons why I hate California. Of course earthquakes can happen anywhere. We have them here from time to time but they are very deep so there isn't too much damage-unlike where you are on the faults and they are on top so there is a lot of damage.

Oklahoma City has been getting hit with A LOT of earthquakes lately thanks to fracking.  ::)  Vermont outlawed it so there isn't any fracking here.

Yep, that's typical for So-Cal freeways.

By the way, we encountered congested traffic (as expected) and we actually got to our destination right at noon. The cousin and his wife showed up in their car just a few seconds later!

And we had a good time visiting. Spent two hours in the restaurant, and then headed for home.

I spent the weekend with Dai in our new house.  Although it doesn't quite feel like my house as I will mostly be living in the old house and Dai will be in the new place during the week because of his new job.

We picked up the keys on Friday lunchtime. The people selling the house said they wanted to leave some furniture in the house which was fine with us.  We thought they might leave most of the furniture as I think it was a family member selling their parents house, but in the end they left three wardrobes, a table and three wooden chairs.  So Dai and I had to run around town finding comfy chairs, a bed, a fridge, etc. In the end we bought a new bed and a couple of chairs in a charity shop. We decided to think what other furniture we need rather than rush into buying a load of cheap stuff that needs replacing again in a year or so.

So Dai started his new job this morning and I came back home to the children on the train.  Dai will drive home on Friday and head north again on Sunday with a carfull of bits and pieces.

So, my dad feels somewhat better; my mom started feeling sick yesterday (I think she may have caught what he had)... and I have started showing a few minor signs of illness today (but I don't feel terrible).
And now I'm unsure about going out for dinner tonight. I could, but since we had a late lunch, I may order something light if I do go out.
I wish your family well.

Thank you.

By the way, I ended up not going out last night; I figured it was not really worth the drive.

Also, my mom ended up not going with us to church today; she was feeling crummy and called one of the other musicians to take her place.

Elizabeth went back to university yesterday.  She has exams soon so has gone back a week early to get some quality studying done.  She went back on the train, and I am driving to Cambridge on Friday with the rest of her stuff.  My dad is coming with me to see Elizabeth's college and we have booked an afternoon tea for us all (dainty sandwiches, scones and jam and some pastries).

Dai came home from his new place for the weekend.  It looks like they generally finish early on Fridays so he will not be too late getting here.  We went to IKEA on Saturday to get some furnishing ideas, but forgot to pick up a catalogue.

The rain has finally stopped and spring is here so I plan to do some spring cleaning this week

I know you won't believe me, but this probably isn't going to make much difference to you.  There is a motorway at the end of my in-laws street and you cannot hear it in the daytime over the usual household noises. The only time I've been aware of it is at night when in bed if it has been raining, there is a bit more noise from the spray. Not enough to keep me awake though.

We live on a busy road and normal double glazing cuts out most of the traffic noise. The only thing that causes a problem is sirens from emergency vehicles because we are on a traffic light controlled junction, so they generally have to sound them when driving past.

I do believe you but bet that none of you use a cochlear implant.  The  sound level of someone using one as compared to  someone not will be different.

I get that, but does your implant amplify background noises more than speech? Or do certain frequencies seem louder?  I would think the inventor/developers of the implant try to get it as near to normal hearing as possible.

Not totally.

She wanted to cook a meal for our houseguests last night (even made the original plans a couple weeks or so ago to do so), but had to change that when she got sick. Instead we got a tray of sandwiches from Costco, and those worked out well.

Busy day @ work today. Got everything done, though (as I usually do!).

I normally work on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but since this month ends on a Monday, I have to go in on that day instead, so that I can complete the end-of-month duties, and that no incoming stuff on Friday and Monday will get held over to the following month; that often makes problems.
