Tuesday 2nd June 2009

No photo's again today I'm afraid. We do have a significant number on Carole's camera phone, but due to her going down with my bug they've not yet been transferred to my PC. We have a bit of a variety, some from the races but more pertinantly several of the boy. There's one in particular which we took in the car on the way home on Sunday night. He'd fallen asleep, and was so tired his whole face looked like it had collapsed. He looked 82 rather than 2......

As mentioned, Carole's flat out with the bug. She was due for jury duty yesterday, which thankfully has been postponed. This in turn has allowed her the easier option of calling in sick to work rather than attempting to obtain a doctor's line for court exclusion purposes.

She was battling with the "Inverurie Ignitor" (Luca in American wrestling parlance) when I arrived home last night. He was being awkward during dinner (plus ca change) and despite having claimed he "no like that" when first offered it, was now demanding a bowl of banana's and ice cream. Unfortunately his request/demand (delete as applicable) had to be denied as we had his parents evening to go to, for which I'd arrived home with merely minutes to spare to make our allotted time.

We got up to the nursery sharply, and were greeted by juice,cakes, etc on arrival. Luca obviously made this his first port of call, even ignoring everyone who said hello to him on route. One glass of juice and the icing to a cupcake later (he's fussy) we were through in the meeting room being told how well he was doing. Nice to hear, although I would have preferred a little more detail on the area's he was progressing well in, and those he wasn't. Perhaps I'm just being fussy? Or perhaps they were more descriptive and I simply didn't hear - Luca was demanding attention, whilst also force feeding me the remnants of his soggy cake.

We got him home not long after, and he went to sleep quite quickly. Despite the excessively high temperatures of the past few days, along with the closeness of the air, Luca isn't finding it all difficult to sleep. Indeed, neither Carole or I found it difficult either after watching last night movie on Channel 5 - "The Contract". Long winded, convoluted and utterly ridiculous would aptly describe this curious vehicle for the undisputed talents of John Cusack and Morgan Freeman. I'd surmise both actors fired their agents after filming this empty shell.

**Useless fact of the day - Amazon awarded "The Contract" only two stars, and classified it as the worst movie featuring Morgan Freeman ever made**
