monday does time exist, or is it merely order

Things go downhill from about age 7 it seems.

Oh heck.

I'm going to go forth blindly. Mine are 6 and 4.

Where's Gazza? He has a heap of catching up to do.

...and what about HD? He talked about PP2 but no pics. The least he could do in the absence of PP2 pics is to post a picture of some Norks as compensation.

He must be from Boro'. The going rate is £5 per hour and a bag of chips.

From Beckenham actually. But willing to take payment in food and beer.

Enjoy their sweet innocence! My 6 yr old already does a great footstamp, pout and armfold if she doesn't get her way..

Mine punched me in the face.

I just find that funny.

Tricky (6) span her vest around and around her neck this evening in a vain attempt to ascertain the front and the back. After quite a few tries and a patient audience of Mum and Dad, with arms in the wrong holes more than once, she just said plainly "i'm a bit mixed up". I tried my best not to laugh.
Sunday evening, armed with a blunt knife at dinner time trying to use her new tool, same daughter pinged a new potato on the floor. She followed it with her eyes unflinching as it exited left and watched it hit the floor. "Oh well" she says "Try again".
Priceless.

It's smurry here. What's it like over there?

I love 'em all, they're little bundles of magic. Except when they're not. Sooo knackered, going to have to turn in, even pouring away a third of a bottle of perfectly good beer. Hell may be freezing over.

I thought you were turning in.

Me: SW Scotland. Him: SE Scotland.

I was much quicker on a bike before the kids turned everything on it's head. I would say that I even had hair but that would be a lie.

Samey as over there.

How's Cowpool this weather?

Bambina tried to give me a dead arm last night but my chiseled biceps proved too much to her and she went off whimpering.

Same here. Blowy Northerlyish and cool. That's the summer over.
Mabie farm park on Thursday with the toots. I do actually like that place. Have yours got a couple of days off?

Its grey and damp up in the North East, but it doesn't matter too much as I'm spending the day making inroads into sorting my folks house out. Been at it over 2 hours so have stopped for a coffee.

Trying to break this down into manageable bits otherwise my head might explode given the amount of stuff there is. Not sure I can face going in the loft this time round... At least I'll have some back up for the next few trips up when some lifting and shifting is required. For now its clothes and small stuff but this is still going to take ages as they can't have chucked anything away for at least 20 years.

On the plus side the fridge is well stocked with food n drink.

braver man than i! had a slight Will dispute to sort out but its almost 9 months and i ve still not gone through the house, garden - loads done but thats relatively easy!
finally came up with a choice of words today for the headstone that i feel comfortable with but how the hell do you sum up 82 years in 150 letters?

No, I don't think so. Taking the girl one out next week and going to Menorca. Bad parents!

That place near dumfries? Incidentally, have you been to that garden centre place that has a dinosaur world?

pinno

Always fancied Menorca. We looked at it a few times. Are your flying from Scouse Airport?

Not been to the dinosaur place. We live near a few.

Dinosaur place is quite good, for three year old boys.

Naturellement. Double fire as she can be brilliantly, hilariously spiteful.

I was. Now discovered loft conversion has reached summer temps of eleventy trillion degrees, so have thrown open all the doors and listening to the sirens of SW London.

Ooh, Scotland. I have very little experience. Dalbeattie with my childhood sweetheart in 1990, and St Andrews to visit a friend working at the University. Loved it both times.

Open windows have cooled room to furnace temperature now.

G'night.

@HopkinsHopkinsHopkinsHopkins. We collected from Dalbeattie for some 6 years. Know it well. It's a hole in an what is otherwise very pretty part of Galloway.

Thomas Cook jobbie.
