Luke is starting to GET IT.

Lol I know that sounds weird but he is starting to get things like quirky adverts, jokes etc. Its really funny to watch him react to stuff now LOL. I wont tell you all what part of the Scooby Doo move is his favourite, just let me say its a competition between Shaggy and Scooby and it involves breaking wind. LOL. I was almost dying with laughter on the weekend watching him trying to emulate the two.

Luke is also saving up, yep he is saving for a trip to England, bless him.
He asks me constantly when we are going and I keep saying well we havent got enough money. So he says, but I have money. Poor thing its like the stuff in his money box. Bless.
Anyway so I ask him so what do you want to go to England for. Well I asked for it.
"So I can go see , Nanna Pat, Uncle Bill, Grandad, Ouma Jenny, Patrick , Angela, Grandma, Uncle Dave, Aunty Jo, Abigail and Rachel." I know I shouldnt have asked. It only hit me then that most of our family live overseas, and he didnt mention Adrian or Emma either, heck, and that made me really sad. The boys miss you all very much. So do we. Then it hit me that if we did come for a holiday it would have to be at least 6 weeks long to enable us to stay with everyone. LOL. What a mission. At least a week with everyone and a couple of days inbetween to travel and see some sights. Not going to happen soon thats for sure. So I still play the lottery faithfully and believe one day my ship will come in, but right now I dont think its even been built yet!

Well it was a really wet and windy weekend and the boys watched TV generally. We actually had hail on Friday night and Saturday morning which is unusual for us. So it was log fires, winter woolies and lots of warm yummy food and drink. This is a pic we took while I was on the phone to My Mom. (ps thanks for the comments). He looked soo utterly dejected and sad sitting there. But he was actually engrossed in a TV programme LOL. I think it was Scooby Doo. They love that.

This one is him realising we are taking the photo, yes he was that enthralled by Scooby Doo.

Dad has left the building......

Well thats it my Dad has flown the coop so to speak.   He, Jenny and Angela left for the UK on 10th May 2005.  I actually can't believe it.   Luke was rather upset after we left the airport I think it only hit him then.    This is a photo we took in the garden half an hour before leaving for the airport.   It was emotional so to speak.   Life seems dismal right now, but I know it will get better and hopefully if my luck is in, we might get to make a trip over there Summer next year.   Well I can hope can't I.

This one has Martyn in and me behind the camera

What a great saying

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather
to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming
"WOO HOO what a ride!"

A Surprise visit

About two weeks ago now,  my brother and I got a really nice suprise an Uncle that I hadn't seen in 11 years came to town for 1 night only.  LOL sounds like a Bee Gees concert.    We had a fantastic evening and I did have way tooo much to drink but heck it was great.    Hopefully it won't be another ten or so years before I see him again.

On the left is My Brother John, Me in the middle and Peter on the Right hamming it up.

Lukes Bday Party April 13 2005

Luke here is a bit red in the face LOL.   They had been running around before the official cake cutting and party pack moment.   He had a lovely day and thankfully it didnt rain.   He was just soo animated and loved being the centre of attention. 

Oh my goodness
