1st steps

Darcy walked last night !!
Call in the trumpets, and the parade !!
Yep, it took nearly 15 months but we got there, with a aid of a trolley that she has learned to push, which is weighed down with a few wooden bricks to give it a bit of ballast !!

She just started pushing it, saying over and over " darcy push " "darcy push "
ans she walked the length of the lounge and back !! how very cool !!

Darcy we love you more than you will ever know !!!

, I am just glad that i was there to see it, as it happenend about an hour after I got home from work !! I would have been gutted to miss it !!

we need to buy some cupboard locks now !! and get the gate put up, that i have been meaning to do, as darcr climbed 1 step of the stairs last night !!! "ssssshhhh i have not told jayne yet !! "

new words !!

this weekend has been full of new Darcy words..!!

We now have "climb" "knee" "tongue away"

It is getting to be the case where we have to be careful what we say in the house, as darcy has now got a near photographic hearing ability !!! she can repeats words at random, obviously a little more clever than first thought !!

new clutch, new eyes.

What with working with very small drawings at work my eyes are now hurting..

To compound this, the car was playing up seriously on Friday,

Ever just been driving along and you miss a gear ??

yep it happens i know...

but when all the gears start to stick, and rattling comes from the engine, and when reversing, sounds like stamping on gravel.... you kinda know that something is wrong !!

as it happens my clutch needed replacing, i managed to get 95,000 out of it, which is not too bad i suppose.. but the sting in the tail was the £300,
mind you i got a good deal, and got it fixed in the same day,

the car feels like a new car now, and the biting point is non existant, but in a way this is good, as it causes me to drive a little slower,

it is all good ..
