May 15th, 2009

Today was a momentous day (well for me anyway).

When I got home (a very long day at work) and came through the door Emma walked towards me arms outstretched with a big grin on her face.

It was so cool.

What a diference a year makes

Sat Nav gone rogue

September 2nd, 2008

Yesterday we went on a little road trip (well we went to Frensham Garden Centre then to Odiham)

I didnt know where these places were so my O2 XDa2 ran it’s Sat-Nav (Co-Pilot).

It nearly got us to our first destination, then decided we were in Portland Harbour (actually in the harbour) we were then in Falmouth, Padstow, Cherbourg and a couple of places in Devon. Oddly enough later we were in Rosslare Harbour Ireland (A ferry goes to Cherbourg from Rosslare) then half a dozen places in Ireland I cannot pronounce. It then gave up the ghost and decided it would not guess at our position at all. Thiis is the situation that remains.

I think the GPS chip may have gone fritz.

Chris…

September 2nd, 2008

I dont know him, all I know he is an under 11 who plays football.

The local under 11’s play football on a field behind us. Last Saturday was their Season Kick off or something, lots of people and loads of games with the other Under 11 teams locally. I only know about Chris through the person who spends a lot of time shouting at him.

I was setting up for our BBQ. All I could hear all day was “Keep with him Chris” “Move Back Chris” “Dont stop Chris” “Do this Chris” “Do that Chris”. These and other phrases were repeated every time Chris was playing. I dont recall any shouts of praise.

I dont know whether Chris is any good, all I know is he must think his Dad/Manager never thinks he is doing the right thing when he plays football.

Now she’s 8 weeks old and getting a bit cheeky
