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
Politik Kills
Great song, I have ordered the album
Check em out if get the chance……..

(Rachel you have a lot to answer for, kind of mine and Jayne’s anniversary last Friday, I got the flowers but did not cook half way there!!) Thanks for the inspiration!!
Pics to follow!!

Puree food

I need to learn to grab the digital camera quicker!! Darcy has started on solids….
Well I say solids
More like purees...
Apple, banana, chicken + pineapple etc

Last night was apple night!!
Darcy likes apple
BUT she has learned after a while
When she is full, she can pretend to chew
I say chew (no teeth yet, so gums are used!)
That she can spit the food out of the corner of her mouth!!
Sneaky!!
But we are wise to you Darcypops!!

Darcy is getting long!! Jayne is 5 foot 2”; Darcy seems to be half that length after 6 months!! She must take after me!! We may have a basketball player in the making!!

The smile in the morning is still the best though!! She sleeps with her legs in the air, arms behind her head, but when she wakes, smiles at you, it makes it all worth while!!

I must grab that digi camera faster; the camera phone is NOT as good!

part 3

Ok part 3……

(Jim you have a lot to answer for!!! Ha-ha…)

Setting timer….

Go


So the other woman, sat at her desk, 2 days had passed since her text to the man in the bar… no response... should she text him again... should she just put it down to blind curiosity, a chance meeting, or was there something in that meeting of minds ..??

She had had a bad day... no a terrible day, late for work, over slept again, missed the train, stuffed up an incredibly important meeting where her boss was trying to impress new clients… she hated her boss, she hated her boss with loathing, she had always been jealous of her, for some reason, she thought, which she could not put her finger on it.
Anyhow, she had decided to go for a drink after work to unwind, and forget the bad day, put it down to just a bad day, and move on. But then she had met the man, he seemed funny, in an off the cuff kinda “your new I do not know you but I find you interesting” kinda way.
They got on, they had a laugh, and a smoke, then he left after about an hour, he never wore a ring, never mentioned a partner, why, she thought was there any reason to not call him ??

But two days and no answer to the text… what was a reasonable time period for not answering…?? Maybe the number was wrong, maybe he was married,

She sat and daydreamed further, instead answering the incoming e-mails that blinked at her from the PC screen… Should…

The end again…..

So many twists so many turns…… who knows !!

Still wanting others to take up the challenge !!!
