Sing your own song...

What an amazing day today... A massive storm overnight and Max the cat waking Heidi and I up at all kinds of hours made for a very restless night... So restless that I overslept on the first day back to work after Christmas... MADNESS!!! Quickest shower ever! Creamy oats and honey wheats scoffed for breakfast (so ouch... too hot!!) and then throw on a shirt and dress pants before giving my beautiful wife and three little ones a quick kiss...

Arrived at work and the carpark is in near darkness... Lift is on already and the library foyer is lit from the other end by a greyish natural light. As I swipe there is no reaction from the sliding door (not good) until a work mate comes across and together we somehow manage to get the doors open wide enough for me to slip through. Signs are already bad for us opening, library is in utter darkness, not even the natural light is very bright and it is not penetrating the 8:30am dull morning dreariness. Rain falling gently as I check for new leaks and see if anything is working (technology-wise)... We got SQUAT!!!

Buzz the ones in charge and then it is time to give the public the bad news... Library in darkness... Not safe to open today.

What next but to head home and surprise the kids! Guess who is home for an extra day... Not home for long though... With not a lot happening in the Bridge it is into the car and off to Mount Barker for a bit of shopping and a family film.

Many thanks to our local radio station PowerFM (Murraylands) where I won a family pass to see the latest family film by Universal and Illumination, Sing. A great film with lots of famous talent voicing the characters. Although there are a manangery of crazy characters (including a koala who's misfortunes propell the story along nicely) my favourite would have to be Johnny the gorilla and the side story focused on his relationship with his dad... I love how this film encourages every child to dream BIG and give everything a go... A film well worth a watch and don't wait for it to come out on DVD! Oh my God! Look at... this film!!
