Did you think I'd died? Although only 2 days have passed since my last update, in "garycaroleluca" blog world that is almost a lifetime.
What has transpired since I last posted? Carole and I went to Glasgow to see Will Young in concert. I have to point out that had I not known then I genuinely wouldn't have been able to tell he was a gay man.
Those of you au fait with my peculiarly sarcastic sense of humour will be aware that the aforementioned statement is a lie. That was, without a doubt, the gayest thing I've ever witnessed. I hadn't previously considered him to be a camp performer but from the start where he actually skipped onto the stage, through to grinding his crotch in his keyboardists face, it was like a mini mardi gras.
I've been to worse gigss however, and the important thing was that Carole had fun. Admittedly most of the fun she had was laughing at how drunk the couple in front of us were, but there you go!
Before the concert commenced we went to a chinese restaurant on Sauchiehall Street. It was the only type of food Carole wanted to eat due to her cold - she needed something strong so she could taste it! We got a really nice table and the food was decent. Typical Chinese though, an hour later I was starving again!
After the gig we went straight back to the hotel - no boozy night in Glasgow unfortunately. Caroles bug made sure of that!
On Saturday we considered going to Firhill to watch Partick play Livingston before coming home. I say we, but I mean I. Carole's crumpled face when I brought it up suggested that this plan may not come to fruition! As such we came straight back up, promising, as we drove past, that we will take Luca down to Blairgowrie Safarai Park soon. He'll love it.
We arrived home to find Gramps and Grandma playing with Luca. Everything seemed sedate so I guess there weren't too many problems while we were away. None that we're lead to think anyway.... Carole was beat from the day away so she crashed out while I took Luca out (after watching some of South Africa's heavy win over England with Tom - he had a huge grin on his face throughout that match!) for a short while. We popped down to buy postcards, return a DVD and go to thee library. For the very first time I let him run free in the library. I usually hold him in my arms or keep him in the buggy. However, we were the only ones there so I let him down to explore. He loved it! He ran up and down a ramp most of time, only stopping during periods where he decided to choose my books for me. I have to say his taste hasn't developed yet!
On Saturday night Liz cooked us a roast dinner. It was delicious. Tom almost brought his back up afterwards however - "Bear Gryll's" was on TV, and it showed some of the nastiest things he's had to eat in the wild, such as camel fat and snake. The worst, however, was when he opened the stomach of a goat in order to sqeeze it's partly digested food for the liquid within. Uuurgh! Tom actually left the room at this point!!
Liz and Tom left sharp this morning to head back to Lincoln, although we were a little trepidacious - it had snowed overnight again and there was a good few inches lying, the roads were really trecherous. Thankfully Liz called at teatime to let us know they got home safely. Luca has been looking for them all day, he's loved having them around.
Carole and I have taken it easy today, partly due to Caroles illness but mainly due to the weather. Travelling far today was not going to be a good idea. Instead I went to the gym before taking Luca to the supermarket, while Carole took Isis out for a quick hike. She seems reasonably bright today so hopefully she'll be fit for tomorrow.
