The View From Drew

A very nice weekend spent relaxing and not worrying about school as I have this week off.

Saturday was spent purchasing a new Curious George book for Eddie as he saw the movie last weekend and really likes the book series. There is also a Best Buy closer to home now. In the past, that would have excited me more as Best Buy used to have really good deals, but now they've joined the rest of the crew of media outlets by offering very little in the way of bargains. I did manage to snag He-Man & the Masters of the Universe, Season One, Volume One on sale though. Eddie wasn't that impressed with it when we watched it. If it ain't got Tom & Jerry in it, he's pretty much lost interest. I returned home to find a belated birthday gift from kradical waiting for me in the mail. It was the complete series of Lenny Henry's Chef. Very cool and a very generous gift. Thanks kradical.

Sunday was a get a few things done around the house day that was capped off with a trip to the gym for the whole family as we used the swimming pool.

We've been putting this off for ages and now we've determined it's going to be our Sunday evening thing from now on. Eddie is a water rat as he moves quickly about the pool and sinks himself again and again to the bottom of the deep end only to pop up moments later. Sue enjoys the feeling of weightlessness she experiences floating in the pool and I must admit that I get a different kind of workout swimming laps and the payoff is the hot-tub afterwords. It certainly will put me in better spirits for a Monday trek back to school next week.
