England Post a Win

So, England have won the first ODI vs. South Africa. I watched it in slow motion, thanks to Sky+ (tm), and I had a sense of dread as S.A. set off at a fair gallop in pursuit of 275. Luckily, we strangled them and cut off the runs. As they had 36 to score from the last three overs, I began to feel safe. Funny how a cricket match prompts a post... Camping update will be forthcoming.

Big Bottoms?

So, yesterday morning I got up, had a shower & went through to the bedroom to get changed. TW was up and in the shower, and Monkey & Tiger were milling about, doing whatever it is that nippers do, when Monkey piped up: "you've got a big bot-bot, Daddy." "Thanks", I muttered. There was a big explosion of laughter from the bathroom as TW heard this exchange. "Your Daddy doesn't have a big bot-bot", she told Monkey.

It's the small things that keep me sane & smiling.

Easy Like Sunday Morning

So, TW is off at a carboot sale, and I'm left holding the babies. Monkey & Tiger are dressed and fed, so score one for my 'mad' parenting skillz. Ma & Pa will be by in a bit, and we'll go and see TW and MiL. It's a lovely sunny day, but a bit windy.
Was at a party last night, & had a few drinks as per usual. Feeling a bit jaded this morning, but am planning a few days off the booze - at least until Weds. Only trouble is, TW is off to Brizzle on Tuesday, so I expect I will want a drink then. J is coming to decorate the front room, and possibly staying overnight, so we might get a few beers in... Life is a constant challenge, isn't it?
