I've decided, from today, that until all other blogs (apart from the ever updating and reliable Dad) are updated on a semi-regular basis then there will be no further pictures of Luca on this blog. Just consider that when you think of all his relatives in Lincoln looking for pictures of their Grandson/Nephew/Cousin and not receiving the chance to watch him grow. Just think of his poor Grandma sitting in front of the computer screen with a sad look on her face, wondering where her little Grandson is...
Following that appalling guilt trip (I may be kidding, but take note!), what's Dr No been up in the interminably short period since I last updated? Aside from the usual griping, laughing, eating and sleeping? I got home from work last night to find Carole out at her class while Granny Jo held the fort. Unfortunately, it was almost half past six and his Gran hadn't yet given him his dinner! She used "In The Night Garden" as a rather poor excuse. However, she helped rectify the situation by staying back and - almost literally - shovelling his favourite "beanies" down his throat, as well as two yoghurts. I'm rather hoping Carole doesn't read that bit...
After which, it was bathtime, and a much better behaved boy was evident this time. He also had quite a few "trumps" while in there, which he now comments on after each incident. Very funny, but the "trumping" is becoming rather too regular now, and indeed reminds me of that famous scene from the Gene Wilder film "Blazing Saddles"....
We had a bit of a rush on after - it transpired we were out of milk, and a Luca without his night time bottle is not a sight you wish to behold. Granny saved the day by driving like Jenson Button up to the local shop, while I stayed at home to distract his attention.
Yes, I said Jenson Button. You see, she only drove quite fast, not very...
Carole arrived home not too long after Luca went to bed and his Gran had set off for home, and very quickly turned off the (admittedly poor) football game off the TV while I ran the dogs out. It's not been a pleasant experience taking them out these past few days, as the weather most certainly has taken a turn for the worst up here. Brass monkeys would be a pretty accurate description.
**Useless fact of the day - Blazing Saddles is considered one of the great American comedies, coming in at number six on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs list**
