Has much happened since my last entry nary 24 hours ago? No. will that stop me making an unnecessary post despite this - in the age of "Twitter" and other such pointless applications? Again, clearly, no.
I arrived home last night to a rare sound - perfect quiet. Carole was at her fitness class, Luca was in Banchory with his gran and both dogs were outside in the pound. I did consider just flumping down onto the sofa and enjoying it, but knowing I would be unlikely to rise again I instead grabbed the dogs and ran them up to the park.
With great timing we arrived home literally seconds after mum had turned up with Luca. After Isis almost flattened mum (when she jumps up on you you know it....) she then proceeded to jump into the car where Luca - having only just awoken from his journey - was not overly amused. Indeed, he wouldn't even look at his Dad for quite some time after coming inside, with fire exploding from his eyes.
He did settle eventually though, although only after his Gran produces a comic with a blow up "Pinky Ponk" (don't ask, nor snigger!) and his bottle shortly thereafter didn't hurt either. Despite his burgeoning age I imagine it will still take quite some time to wean him off this, the last vestige of his baby-hood.
Yes, I know that's not a real word.
His Gran took him bed shortly after, and once he fell asleep she came down to keep me company until Carole arrived home. And then she stayed a little longer while I went out to the gym (two trips in a month - not impressive!).
And she was still there when I got home from the gym! At 10pm! Her excuse that Ross would be sleeping and Dad would be golfing was ignored as Carole tried to remove her fingers from the frame of the doorway as I pushed - she's stronger than she looks!
I'm obviously kidding - we offered her a bed for the night, but she declined, likely knowing we would use her to deal with Luca's early rise in the morning while we snoozed.
Today Dad has offered me a ticket for next weeks midweek Champions League semi final, Manchester Utd V Arsenal. This would easily be the biggest game I've attended in my life (obviously discounting Peterhead V Montrose last season), but I'm struggling. With it being midweek in Manchester I'd need to take two days off work, but as we're already two staff members short next week it's (guttingly) looking highly unlikely.
**Useless fact of the day - Q: How many Man United fans does it take to change a light bulb?A: 560,001. That is 1 to change it, 60,000 to say they've been changing it for years and 500,000 to buy the replica kit. Sorry, no interesting facts today!**
