Thursady October 2nd 2008

Good evening. As you'll (hopefully) see above we are now able to upload videos! This one was taken this morning as I got Luca up for his breakfast, he's a cheery wee thing! Next time I'll remember to switch lights on and open the curtains so you don't get such a fuzzy picture!

I had the zombie DVD to return to Blockbuster when I got home tonight, so I ran into the house to pick up the DVD, only to be faced with a slightly hyper and desperate for attention little boy. One of Caroles old pals from South Africa was on the phone to her, so between that, Luca and cooking my tea her multitasking skills were stretched! As such, I decided (nay, he decided) that he should come with me. We ran out into the rain toward the car, with Luca's grin turning into a scowl when he realised we were taking mums car - he prefers mine, Not sure why, but possibly because it's much higher up and gives him a better vantage point? However, he behaved so we drove through the driving rain (is there any other type of rain in Inverurie?) to the video shop then Tesco to pick up odds and sods. He loves Tesco, so many people about and so many items to knock clear off the shelf! He's incredibly eagle eyed, and despite me going at a fair old pace throgh the store (as I was carrying him and my arms fall off after a time....) he noticed his favourite yoghurt amongst the hundreds of other brands and demanded I stop and go back so he could have it! After we'd bought our food he noticed a kid, probably around 14 years old, pulling his hat on and off. Luca immediately decided this was a game and gave the poor kid a start by shouting "boo" at him as we walked past!

He went down well tonight, so we've just been chilling and watching bits and pieces of the live games on TV tonight. There's 4 live games tonight on BBC1, Channel 5, ITV3 and ITV4, and probably more on Sky Sports. However, even for a football nut like me it feels like extreme overkill. The football bubble in the UK will burst, and it could be any time.

It's still more interesting than cricket or basketball though....

Anyway, for those of you who have a memory, I mentioned yesterday I had a new game to play - songs that remind you of people. It was a game we devised at work (it was a very rare quiet time!) and is pretty self explanatory. Nothing too obvious like "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" for Lucy, more a little obtuse such as "Run Like Hell" by Pink Floyd for Kelly, "Cut Your Hair" by Pavement for Ross for or "Spanish Eyes" by Engelbert Humperdinck for Carole. If anyone actually understands what on earth I'm on about then let me hear your suggestions!

**Useless fact of the day - The song "Chew And Hiccup" by Book Oven is regarded as the longest (traditional) pop song ever written, as it goes on for 240 minutes. Must be one hell of a drum solo in that....***
