I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
School, gym, shop and home. An hour and it’ll be time to go out to pick the kids up again! What a day. I was out ‘shopping’ for worms actually. The wife wants to restart her worm farm and before she left she dragged it out of it’s hiding place, cleaned it and loaded it … More Home again, home again…
So far we’ve done ok! Kids were up at 6:30 a.m. grumbling and moaning as usual but after some jolly encouragement… and threats of violence… they both got up, showered and dressed. Breakfast cooked by me with no picking! Scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hash browns, beans, spaghetti and tinned mushrooms. Not a gourmet feast admittedly, … More Morning: The First.
So the wife has left for the UK. She might even be there by now… can’t recall when she arrives. She’s dressed for the weather with woollies and a Mac and is really looking forward to two weeks of rain after all the sun we’ve had here. We were all missing her here even before … More Away to the woods.
We finally got to the competition at around 4:30 p.m. after the wife went into the boarding area at Mascot. The youngest was already there having been taken to the rink by a friend who’s daughter (Lara) was also having a go. We were a bit concerned that we might have missed the their efforts … More The Skating Competition.
When we got back in the car the TomTom had been charging for a little while so the wife tried the reset button again. And it worked. The navigation system took us from home to the airport but importantly it helped us thread our way through the city streets to the ice rink in no … More Talking of "sod's law"…
We have a TomTom 710 ‘navigation system’ which has worked perfectly for a year or so. Of course we usually don’t go far so it’s not used as a navigator as often as it might be. However, as I wrote a short while ago, the other day we went to Canterbury to take the youngest … More Sod's Law?
All those posts I was going to make seem to have fallen by the wayside. With a memory like mine anything that isn’t written down within a day or so is lost forever – which is I suppose one of the reasons for writing this to begin with. It reinforces the memory *and* provides a … More Too late to catch up?
This morning I posted a note about how I used to enjoy Pot Noodles when they came out… until I knew better. To cheer me up a little… The Phantom posted something on his site. I’ve never seen it before bit I fell about laughing. Damn funny I thought… and I loved the accents. Awww… … More And so this appeared
No time yet to update the blog 😦 Spent all day yesterday out with the kids both at the cinema and then to ice skating. It was a long day. I hope I can write more later… but no promises! I’m still exhausted and I’ve not got to the gym today yet!! 🙂
Was just writing a comment of The Phantom’s blog about Pot Noodles. I was pointing out that as embarrassing as it is to admit I recall liking ‘Pot Noodles’ when they first came out. At the very least they seemed convenient and tasty, but maybe for us in darkest Wales they seemed a bit ‘exotic’. … More Chips or Crisps?
