January specials

At this time of year I enjoy not having the school routine but there's still some jobs that have to get done inbetween holiday activities:

1. Try to find places to store all those wonderful presents given to the Q kids from family and friends.

2. Organise optometry/orthodontic/dental check ups.

3. Order some books for school so we are ready to start in a month.

4. Check the 'back to school' catalogues for stationery needs and

5. Repair earthquake damage.

There's been three major earthquakes causing damage but none of them in Australia. The first one started in Yukon Territory and extended down in a pretty much straight line to the equator. The second started in the North Pacific Basin and likewise went in a roughly straight line down to the equator, passing through the Hawaiian Islands. The third originated with a huge crater in the North Pole. Considering the time of year we've just had I can imagine the conspiracy theorists are getting excited. The third one then extended down but with a rather huge bend to pass through the International Date Line and then to the equator again. The last quake threatens to put the whole earth off it's axis so it's crisis time.

Mike thinks that everything can be repaired with sticky tape and we've tried but I think it's beyond redemption. What do you think?:
