Apologies in advance for the haphazard and mainly illegible nature of today's blog, I'm listening to the Nirvana compilation album ("Sliver" - all unreleased tracks or demo's) as I type, and it is surely the most distracting body of music I've listened to in quite some time - intriguing, yet with quality varying hugely throughout.
Utterly irrelevant musical reviews notwithstanding, the weekend has thus far been reasonable, despite the appalling weather. It started last night with a poker night for Carole (she came home £5 down despite having previously worked at a casino - I guess the house doesn't always win......) while I stayed home with Luca. He went to sleep early (after yelling "go away daddy" as I tried to read him his night time story), so I was left with the slightly disconcerting experience of having the house to myself for the evening. I wasn't sure what to do with it, so spent it eating too much junk food and downloading music (albums by M.Ward and Propagandhi) before collapsing into bed regretting the fifth bowl of home made uncooked flapjack I'd just eaten.
Don't ask.
Today we were woken with a start - the scrap yard turned up earlier than expected to pick up my car. It was actually quite sad to see it go, and a reminder that I am now officially one of those poor and dirty people who catch buses. Honestly, we're like lepers, and the looks we get at traffic lights by fat men in Skoda Estates would turn a Chablis Grand Cru Bougros to Blue Nun......
We went into Aberdeen not long afterwards to drop Carole at her fitness class, while Luca and I went to the library (scenes of commotion within are now classified as a formality). We got back sightly early to pick Carole up, and while we waited Luca noticed my mobile phone. "Ta" he said, before holding it up and shouting "Phone Grandad!". So we did, and a rather perplexed Granda Ian agreed to speak to the little one. He (Luca, no idea about Dad!) loved it and smiled throughout while holding the phone to his ear and just saying "Yes" every now and then. Eventually I had to wrestle the phone off him before his Grandparents on the other end of the line lost the will!
I'm going to have to cut this short as I'm presently burning our tea! Indeed, I don't even have time for a useless fact! Sorry! Part two tomorrow!
