northern lights

I was out in Cardiff last night,
Out to see Bill Bailey, a West Country comedian
A very very funny night was had.

After having Darcy all day on the Saturday,
I was surprisingly missing her all of Sunday night.
I guess it was one of those times that you suddenly realise that
The love for your kids
Is the be all and end all!!

I know I keep saying it, but I can’t imagine my life without her now

It was really strange driving home afterwards the sky was tinged with orange, like I had not seen before,
Coming from Sheffield I am used to seeing the orange glow of the street lights reflecting against the sky, this was similar but weaker.

It kind of made me home sick,

Both for my family in Sheffield, and now my new family
My daughter and wife.
I could not wait to see her, and as usual she woke, as I entered the house, the squeezed my hand, before turning over and going back to sleep!!
I counted my blessings last night,

I am very lucky,

i broke the toilet !!

The most embarrassing story….

Maybe of my life
And I choose to share it
With you all!!

Saturday I had Darcy for the day (Jayne had her first proper day on her own) in 6 months,
Shopping and the like in Cardiff.
I had Darcy…
She was good..
I took her down town in her snow suit (no snow yet)
We saw a few people,
Then went up to my in laws for dinner!!
My father in law cooked us dinner, (well me)
Darcy had chicken, she did not like chicken!!
It went everywhere
So anyway, after wards I went to the bathroom, before going back home with Darcy,
I stood up (as you do) only to hear
C.R.A.CCcccccc…..K!!!! (A few more!!!! !!!! ) get the picture?
(Maybe not the picture, unpleasant!!)
I looked down to see the seat had split in TWO, TWO!!!!
Hey I’m a tall guy, but I am average weight, certainly not in the needing to get a re-enforced seat proportions

How do I go into the living room, and explain to my father in law that he needs to get a new toilet seat????? Well…

I entered the lounge….. Sheepishly
Only to see Darcy had been let loose on the newspaper! (She likes the finance section)
It was shredded ALL over the room, with my father in law laughing at her,
(I thought you will not be laughing in a minute!)

So it was a case of eerr Jeff
I think…
Err...
I…
Broke yer toilet seat!!??!!

Look of suspicion... and bewilderment… then a smirk


So he says yeah I know the lamp shade fell on it and cracked it!

“What you knew it was already broke??”

“Yep”.
“That’s ok then??!! “ PPHHEeewww...

“Well not really… I need to get a new seat!””

response to rachels random photo !

Ok a response to your blog !!

I remember as a kid one Christmas party I think,
one of those parties where all the relatives come around,
and play really crap party games.
And we had a competition
to see what the best animal we could make out of hand gestures,
etc,
birds, rabbits, butterflies
etc etc,

Well I reckon this guy would have won hands down
( sorry for the pun )
Moose ??

Mind you play this game in scotland in deer season, he may get shot, or get an interesting mate !!

monday

Monday the start of another week
So much anticipation
So much …. Unknown
And all we can think of is about next weekend

Who knows what lies ahead this week?
Who knows what wondrous new skill my daughter will learn?
And inspire me with
Who knows what amazing new tune or band I will stumble across?
Who knows what little thing will stop me in my tracks and make me realise how lucky I am to be married to Jayne
Who knows how many people will read these twitterings…!

I hope it is a good week for you all!!


Well I can answer the tune and band question RIGHT NOW
Later with Jools Holland, had a Spanish band on Manu Chao,
I do not speak Spanish
They rocked
