Every night I put Darcy to bed, She has her milk, lies in my arms, and then we have to go through the same routine...
Darcy goes through all the words she knows, starting with the characters of Fireman Sam, then Bob the Builder, then Mr. Men, and then just her vocab, and if you do not repeat the words straight after her, she repeats the word until you say it with her. This usually lasts 15 mins or so, but for a 16 month old, she has an impressive vocab,
she'll soon be using sentences !

New Diet ?? why yes can you tell ?
The diet is working !
i will not say how much in a week and half, but it is good i think...
the secret of my success, to quote someone else......
drop the biscuits, drop the bread !!
introduce spaghetti hoops
eat a little more fruit, and eat breakfast !!
oh yeah! and do not eat after 9pm !!
easy ? well yes, it is just the commitment that is needed !!

SO the reason for such a gap in my correspondence??
Probably the fact that I have nearly had it with social web pages ! whether I bring too much expectation to the social table? Maybe I am willing to invest too much time and effort? Whether perhaps I expect others to put in, what I try to ?? It is a drug !
I am glad for the experience of social websites, I have met some fantastic people in many many far flung places, but however we look at it, someone commenting on your page is not a “friend” . real life interaction is needed, and perhaps this is what I have missed, For technology and work reasons, I had to stop using a very popular site, I am still bitter about that but in the great scheme of things, does it matter ?? well probably not. It is the letting go that is hard. “Hi my name is Gareth, and I am a social website-aholic. ! I am faced with the real decision of leaving my current site now, again I thought it would put a lot of traffic through to my blog, but no. I know this has been other peoples experience too, and again I say my reason for blogging is not the attention, but at the end of the day, everybody likes comments, and a little feedback , right?? That is just human nature ! To be able to through words out into the air, and letting them be caught by someone, somewhere, holds a little mystery.
I have known good people and shared experiences, who too have been become lost in the drug of these websites, some still blog, Jim thanks again for your experiences, and stories, others have given up their habit because they realised family is something stronger, than being on line all the time, I am reaching the end of my struggle I think, clarity is coming,
Blogging is different though I feel , this is something that I want to continue, whether those 4 subscribers, to my blog actually read it, I do not know.I think the expereince of blogging changes as you do it! what started out as a laugh, was also easy, suddenly things got serious, and the fun stopped, i guess it is keeping a happy balance, we shall see !!
for now i have a new template, we shall see whether there is a new blogging me !!

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 ..

Can babies talk with dialects ??
The answer yes !
My daughter is learning the art of disguise, at the age of 14 months !!
Ok she is half welsh, the better half being english ( only joking jayne ! )
now she can say Ta, and Mam with a Very strong welsh accent
yet she can say Darcy, Daisy ( her favourite doll ) more like Dayy- si which sounds very Yorkshire
but she has discovered Bob the Builder on tv, and she she now shouts Baarb !! at the top of her voice which sounds very American !!
If she shouts Vod-ka with a russian accent next , I will panic !!
