Rehashing Dad's recent musings of discontinuing the blogs, based on the recent activity (or more importantly inactivity) of our fellow bloggers perhaps it is time to wind this up? Indeed, personally I've decided to continue through until the end of the week, making my last ever post on Friday night.
With this being the plan, I had better ensure my last couple of entries aren't as achingly dull as many of my previous. Unfortunately, as I'm in the office with my camera sitting 15 miles away in our kitchen todays will be image free - therefore immediately putting this entry on the back foot!
What has happened lately that may be of interest? For Carole's benefit it would be preferable for me not to remind her of this "experience", but due to the wall shaking nature of it I can't realistically avoid it. I came home from work last night to find Luca hoisted over his Mum's shoulder, whilst she tore up the stairs. It transpired he's been having the mother of tantrums and had sulked, screamed at and physically abused his Mum since she collected him from nursery, with this behaviour showing no signs of abating. My attempts to interject and help were quickly - and predictably considering the situation - waved away so I spent the next hour heating my tea, eating it and channel hopping while listening to a genuinely disturbing wall of noise emanate from the floor above me. Eventually - around 90 minutes later - Carole staggered down the stairs with a worn and forlorn look about her face. She had won the battle, although I'm certain George found slaying the dragon a trifle easier.
Other than his "Damien" type shenanigans Luca's actually been very pleasant of late. I find sometimes that my natural inclination to exaggerate can occasionally warp the true facts! Potty training is still successfully underway without further incident, and he chats so much he even puts his Aunt Jane to shame.
What else? Errm, not a lot. I'm now actively searching for a new car, and hope to have something tied up in the next week or so. The final car hasn't yet been decided - decisions are changed daily - but it will be a diesel estate. Hopefully aesthetically not too ugly, but I'm sure Joseph Merricks mother also had the same wish.
Carole will be hoping my weight stabilises again once the new car arrives, as I've had to walk up to 8 miles a day on occasion (when taking into account commuting, dog walking, etc) which rather predictably burns a calorie or two. Though I'm certain her main motive is to reagin full control of her BMW. Although I rarely use it, it's amusing to see the tension form around her jaw any time I eye her keys.
Other than this I rented a few DVD's from our local Blockbuster on Monday. The most high profile film borrowed was Oscar winning "Slumdog Millionaire". Great expectations invariably lead to even greater disappointment, which was most certainly the case with this long and frankly dull love story.
We also gave up our Sky Sports subscription yesterday, less through a need to tighten our belts, and more through a "Well, it's the football close season just now anyway" point of view. However, we immediately replaced it with the Movie channels and made good use of our first night by staying up to the "wee small hours" watching various good-to-average flicks. Watch "Run Fat Boy Run" if you can though. Is Simon Pegg the funniest actor in movies today? Discuss.
