Thursday, November 29th, 2007

While it’s mostly just the three of us for dinner these days, we’ve found more time for singing…

Wisley Gardens

So just down the A3 is Wisley Gardens, which is a perfect place to take your bedstemor out for an airing… no, seriously, the boys had a really good time.

BC - Before CBeebies

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

I dunno how people coped before relentless children’s tele. I’m afraid that television was left in charge of the kids yesterday as we all had a bad cold, so had a very non-action day. Today as well was a bit of a washout, but one exciting thing did come out of it.

catch-up, regression, cost of living

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

Lots to report, so this post may be a bit scatty.

Just catching up on a few photos…

This is just a greyscale version of a photo of Ollie, as I had a couple of these of Thomas when he was around this age:

From the same series, here is a great toothless grin from him:

Also, for a better look at the “Grand Designs” sticklebrick house that Thomas [...]

Breakthroughs on a sunny day.

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

We had a good day today, me and the boys.

We went to Tiny Talk this morning, and met someone I like who has two girls with a 2-year age gap. Thomas also threw caution to the wind, and asked to go to the toilet, and actually did a wee on a “strange” toilet he [...]
