I'm afraid I still can't upload photo's at home, but strangely am having few problems in the office. To prove as such, see todays attached picture. Not old enough to be archive, not new enough to be relevant, and to top it off I may have posted this picture before. So apologies in triplicate!
It's actually easier for me to post blogs at work at the moment. I've just spent the preceeding weekend almost living in the office. What a weekend, the calls (mainly from BP) started almost immediately after leaving the office on Friday night, and continued throughout the day on both Saturday and Sunday. Indeed, I was even in the office on three separate occasions on Sunday. However, the aggravation was partly alleviated by the company - Luca joined me on the first two sojourns! We popped in firstly at 0930am on Sunday (which he objected slightly too - my office is quite sparse for a toddler!), followed by a repeat visit just after lunchtime, which he enjoyed a little more - on this occasion he helped me work! Kind of. To keep him amused I kept printing blank paper onto the printer which he delighted in running across the office to pick up, bring back to my desk and pop into my file. I think the Amazon forest had taken a bit of a battering by the time we were done! Once we were done he decided to emulate his Aunt Kelly by taking up long distance running. We did a few laps around the car park before his legs gave way!
We (as in Luca and I) also found time to go into Aberdeen to buy Sima a dog coat - extra extra small! He loved this as there were rabbits and fish for sale in the store, and he sat and watched so carefully it was almost as if he's been hypntised - the fish in particular were of great fascination.
Initially we had planned a family expedition to the Hazelhead petting zoo, but due to work, Caroles new fitness classes and the weather (good god brrrr) we've postponed until a later date. Speaking of Carole, she's carled up on the sofa at home just now. She awoke this morning feeling sick so she's taking it easy while I work and Luca spends his day (likely) causing chaos at nursery.
Although she'll likely recover quickly from the sickness, Carole may take a little longer to recover from the strains of her most recent fitness class. She had body combat yesterday, and judging by her rather restricted movement this morning I think it unlikely she'll manage to complete her intended four classes this week!
I've been a little lazier lately, and think I need to get my bony butt back to the gym. It's mainly Luca and Sima who've taken up my home time lately, but I guess I need to get a little fitness back and follow Caroles regime. I do have a membership at our local gym, but it's a bit cold and cr*p in there so I may cancel it and try the one at the Thainstone hotel. Perhaps that will get me exercising? My free time recently has been spent reading and watching movies. My present film is "American Gangster", which I'm quarter of the way through - I watch it at lunchtimes on my MP4. Good stuff, though my confidence in Russel Crowe's acting abilities lessen by the year. I'm also reading a book on puppy behaviour (very handly but excruciatingly dull), an autobiography of a cancer sufferer who completed the tour de France and have also just finsished Peter Crouch's (the 6ft 7inch footballer) autobiog. It was surprisingly good, he's a bit of a posh boy but is sharp and funny.
**Useless fact of the day - Peter Crouch played football for Liverpool for a couple of years, and is still a cult hero there. On website "This Is Anfield" they have hundreds of made up facts about him, including:-
There are seven Wonders of the World, each of whom one day hopes to meet Peter Crouch**
