I am going to make a much bigger post soon, but in a nutshell :
- Chris & Stu got married
- George & Barney got bigger
- I got a bit balder
- Work didn't get any better
- The weather got colder and wetter
- We all got a little older
Thanks,

Whooo hooo
It's Holiday time!!!
I'm off work for a week! YEEEEEEHAAAAR!!!
The little feller has gone caravanning with his Grandparents and Jessica so it's a week of selfish fun for Sarah and I.
There's nothing like getting up when you like really is there. I mean, the only thing we need to get up for is to let the dog out, and that's a five minute job that you can virtually do without opening your eyes. The added bonus is that it only takes one of you so the other one doesn't even have to leave the warm snugness of the duvet.
And what's more, WE CAN GO OUT!! And no need to plan it six weeks in advance. All the good stuff that you didn't know you had when you didn't have children has returned for one week only (get it while stocks last).
So what are we going to do with all this free time? Redecorate the dining room perhaps? Or maybe Tidy that room that needs a good going over? NO!! absolutely not. It was suggested, and I gave it a firm, but fair "Sod that, I'm doing 'us' stuff, not dull stuff". So we're playing it very much by ear. We have a night booked at Billesley Manor (that place where we did the marrying thing) on Thursday night, but other than that, it's chilled out time.
This morning we got up about 10.00 (hee hee, ten 'o' clock, that's just great!) and decided to get a little breakfast at Bluewater. So off we went. A little light Brunch, and some easy, gentle, no kids type shopping later we came back and let the dog out for a wee. Sarah's just gone for a lie down, probably more because she can than she needs it, and I've watered my plants and decided to do a little blogging.
Tonight, we'll probably just go for a beer and a bit of food, or maybe get a DVD or maybe even go to the movies. I believe that the Bourne Supremecy is on and it looks quite good.
What else is new? Well, work is pretty dull at the moment. Pioneer (whom I work for) is an Italian owned organisation, and in Italy everyone has August off, it's simply not worth being in the office. I keep expecting tumble weed to blow across the office floor, it's that deserted.
Barney is bigger still. He's lying next to me, snoring as I type this. He is very well behaved and is ninety-nine percent there on the toilet training.
Speaking of which, George is virtually out of nappies. He only as a nappy now for the nights, and many mornings when he comes into us, his nappy is dry. It's always the first thing he does. He comes into our room, rips off his nappy, and throws it at me! It usually hits me pretty squarely on the head, so you can appreciate how happy I am that it's more often than not, dry!
He had a sports day at nursery this week. We have some photo's - I'll post them soon. Sports day, well not really, more like a load of 2-3 year olds running around in random directions. More like Athena rather than Athens.
One really sensible thing we've done this week is to get a scanner. That means we can throw away all these annoying, bulky Bank Statements, Bills and various other documents that we've been hoarding. I'm slowly working my way through them all. Scanning them in, burning them onto DVD, and shredding the original. If a scan is a good enough document for us to keep for VAT and Tax purposes at work, then I am assuming the same is true for home. It's a damn site easier to find them too as I've filed them by supplier and then named the files by date. Does anone need any packing material?
Right, I'm now off to do whatever I bloody well feel like doing.
Well, as they say in Athens, μέχρι την επόμενη φορά.
(Until next time)
