On this day…

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

image912729248.jpg… I shall mostly be swimming then shopping then cleaning. Tom has his lesson but I’m not going in this week.

Ruby has had a crap nights sleep and I can’t face going in and dealing with her Sam and Tom on my own.

Amanda is working today (over-time, woop woop) so we’re mum-less. Never a good thing.

Got to go - the Rubster has unleashed poo-maggedon.

Cheerio

Got my Boo back

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010

image520305650.jpgShe has been at her grandparents the last two days to allow us to get into work. I have missed her something cruel. But hey she is back so it’s all good.

She beamed when she saw me. Lovely times. Absence couldn’t make the heart grow any fonder but still … It was good.

She is sat with her mummy right now chilling. My lovely girls.

Take it easy y’all

Pop Art and the 60’s

Monday, January 11th, 2010

image1347448184.jpgPOW!! Sam is creating pop art in his project on the 60’s so I made this to show him what it was.

His teacher asked then what they knew about the 60’s and he knew a little. He had heard of JFK so I taught him the “Ask not what your country can do for you…” quote. Suitably awed.

Also showed him some pictures from my 20th century in photos book. Burning Buddhist monks, Vietnam war, MLK and the like. Oo and hippies - flowers in your gun. Beautiful.

Beatle-mania. John Lennon getting married. First black into Mississippi uni. The police refusing to protect him.

A mixed decade to my eyes but decades since have been equally up and down I suppose.

I remember reading this book and thinking that the next Century had to be happier. Then the towers fell.

Wasn’t the best start was it?

Hmmm.
Yours,
A thoughtful daddy xx

Snow snow snow snow

Friday, January 8th, 2010

image1217081957.jpg…. And more snow. Been working from home all week cos of the snow and school being shut. It was open at the start of the week but they just had to give in.

This is Tom on the way to school.

We (whilst ‘working’ at home) has a good old time to be honest.

That’s all for today.
