What have I forgotten to do since my last blog? Add photo's. I'm sorry, and indeed our digital camera's are liteally overflowing with Luca grins and grimaces.
The latter being more prevalent obviously.....
His face is calming quite rapidly after the latest laser treatment, and I suspect this session will show the greatest improvement yet. Indeed, even in the 5 days since the operation he's evolved from "cheetah" to "pseudolithos miguirtinus"
Sorry, was that a bit vague? Pseudolithos miguirtinus is a plant that has very faint spots on it's inner and outer corolla. Although I doubt when Luca looks in the mirror he'll now say "Luca's a pseudolithos miguirtinus"
He's been a good boy though. I picked him up from his Granny and Granda's house on Friday night, and as I hadn't seen him for a couple of days fully expected a warm welcome. Yes, I am delusional.
We bid a brief adieu to Granny and an (unsurprisingly) fast asleep Uncle Ross before driving home. My hopes of listening to the weekend football preview on the radio as we made our way along the windy roads was rendered impossible. Shorty insisted on exercising his vocal chords, so rather than find out who was playing in goals for Aberdeen the following day I instead found out that this old man gave his dog a bone.
Saturday was quiet, Carole went to her class while Luca and I took a stroll into town. He loves this, as do I as it wears the hyperactive tasmanian devil out a little. By the time we caught a bus home (his legs eventually gave up on him) his head was starting to wobble somewhat.
On Sunday we had to skip Church as I had to go to work. Not the best timing either, as I was sick that morning - looks like I've caught a little of what the dogs had. Around mid-morning Luca came upstairs and proceeded to force me out of bed. "Wake up Daddy" he hollered while standing two inches from my face "It's time to get up Daddy". I began to rouse myself before hurriedly quickening the pace when he announced "Luca's going to bounce on Daddy now"
After a quick moan and search for sympathy (none were forthcoming) I drove to the office with Sima as my companion. Luca's previously come in with me but wasn't greatly keen on the surroundings. Thankfully my tasks were brief and I was able to get home quickly, from where I fell asleep in front of the football on TV. Luca's nap was well timed and he joined me in the land of nod while Carole spent the afternoon online completing a job application.
The role Carole's going for is still within Aberdeenshire Council and is actually for the job she used to do before Luca came along. The online system seems to be full of bugs though, and as such I could hear Carole muttering "Sugar" and "Flips sake" over and over. At least I think that's what she was saying......
Finally, as promised to Lucy when I met her online on Facebook on Saturday, I will set up the camera on the computer again. Although I can't guarantee you'll see Luca on this. With the PC being in the loft Luca is highly reluctant to venture up as "there's dinosaurs up there"
**Useless fact of the day - The oldest known dinosaurs stretch back 230 million years**
