Friday 23rd January 2009



Featured above is an image advertising the movie Carole and I are seeing tonight. It's not Luca, nor his parents, it's not even the dogs - but it is related to today's events, and therefore is a legitimate entry as far as I'm concerned!

We're intending to catch the 9pm screening in Aberdeen - tonight is the films UK release date. Annoyingly I forgot I was supposed to be playing football tonight and have had to cancel, but I did promise Carole the film before I agreed to the football. And I have to prioritise too.

If you're male then you are probably now thinking "If he's prioritising then why didn't he choose the football?".

We'll hopefully have a "boisson alcoolisée" or two while we're out too - Granny Jo is taking fat bottomed boy for the night so we can lie in tomorrow! Actually, scratch that, we've got a perma-farting wolf and a Sooty soundalike puppy who'll likely tell us at 6.30am that they need to go out to the toilet.

After our "lie-in" (cough) I'll be getting up and through to Aberdeen for the big game - Aberdeen V Rangers, while Carole heads through to collect Luca and take him to a birthday party. Unfortunately, with the football, I won't have time to attend the party for the enormous group of screaming, hyperactive two year olds. Oh no.

Can I reiterate the reasons behind the previous paragraphs cough? It was indicative of the fact we'll be woken early by the dogs, hence no lie in. Not the other thing a cough could refer to....

I should just use the delete button.

On Sunday we'll attempt to further educate Luca in the art of the doggy paddle. Hopefully his progress shown on Tuesday can continue further, and leave him more comfortable in the water. Realistically I'm looking for an improvement which will result in his fingers not gouging through my skin in desperate attempts to hand on for dear life. We're still a little distance from Luca free swimming yet.

**Useless fact of the day - In Tenerife in 1706, the greatest eruption known in the island happened at Trevejo. This volcano produced great quantities of lava which buried the city and port of Garachico, in those days one of the most important cities in the island. Although volcanic by nature, the island hasn't had any eruptions yet this century. Yet**
