Great moment during the football match between Arsenal and Wigan last night. Arsenal had a 16 year old making his debut, and he made such an impression that he was named man of the match. The problem there was that the sponsors give the man of the match a bottle of champagne - and he was too young to accept it!


I've got some more pictures of Luca, and I'll post them tonight. They're demonstrating his tooth brushing technique. Still a little raw, but he's getting better. We're grateful of the improvement as he rarely lets us help now!


Carole and I also watched her favourite movie of all time last night on ITV2 - "Shaun Of The Dead". I've seen it before too and I have to agree with her on this one. It's a terrific movie. Gut burstingly funny.


Luca's got himself a date. The parents of his best friend from nursery (Harry) sent us a letter asking for a playdate. Great idea, especially as we don't socialise Luca with kids of his age much. It should be fun, as long as he's got over his bullying phase! I'd hate to have to post a photo of the wee man punching his friend in the face and spoil your illusions of him being a delicate treasure.....


One week today is Carole's 21st. Well, within a few years of that anyway....
