You dig the excitement on that face?
£1 was deposited under his pillow last night, assumedly from a supernaturally fairy-esque source. Rather akin to a dolphin, Luca kept one eye open for much of the night in anticipation of the Tooth Fairy's arrival.
I'm not, however, suggesting dolphins sleep with one eye open in order to catch a glimpse of the Tooth Fairy. That would be an incorrect statement and therefore has no place here, on this unmonitored and unsubstantiated Internet blog page.
It was Luca's last day at school on Friday, and the onset of the (excruciatingly long) summer holidays are now upon us. What do you do with a hyperactive 6 year old for two months? I've taken "first shift" and have booked next week off work to look after him.
Works going well incidentally. I thought you'd like to know. Frighteningly off topic granted, but fully in keeping with this blogs lack of structure over the years.
Continuing with the off topic momentum (albeit related), I calculate this blog to have been in existence for two thirds of a decade now. In an online world socially ruled by Facebook and Twitter, how much longer will the medium you're currently reading continue to remain relevant? Indeed is it even relevant now?
To return to the original point, Luca's Granda has very kindly provided an outlet for our tiny terrors first week exertions. He's booked one of his timeshare options for us to cover Monday through Wednesday in the Lake District. If he can now perfect the transporter beam popularised within the wobbly walls of Star Trek in order to avoid what will doubtless be a painfully chatty 7 hour car ride South I'd be rather grateful.

Seasoned Calamari and Prawn Salad. Two dishes Carole and I took into the cinema with us on Friday. To explain, it was my birthday on Friday, so Carole took her not-so-young toy boy to the movies. Having not had a chance to eat beforehand, we instead purchased the aforementioned items from a local M&S and brought them in with us. Has such foodstuff ever seen the inside of a movie theatre? I personally thought the subtle vinaigrette essence of the calamari complimented the eye watering body odour of the chap sat two seats away.
The film was good though. It had zombies.
With the summer upon us, Luca's football is taking a sojourn also. Ill timed, as his addiction for the game has reached fever pitch. He just wants to play all the time. Even after a long and sweaty training session yesterday with Colony Park, Luca's first words to me when I collected him were "Can we go and play football together?"
He's going to be so much better than me.
Two goals this weekend too.
Finally, and insisted upon by Carole, I've deferred creation of the separate "running blog". However, I'll keep this brief as, well, I'm not really the interesting one. My first Half Marathon event was this morning, the infamously hilly Stonehaven race. Due to injury my training preparation was poor, but I'm happy with a finish time of one and three quarter hours. I coasted comfortably for the first 8 miles, but the final 5 or so were a lesson in endurance and will - I simply had nothing in the tank.
"Fail to prepare, prepare to fail". A cliche that swam endlessly round my head during the races latter miles. I told you I wasn't the interesting one.
