What is it with people who drive and do not indicate??
It isn’t that hard….just stretch that finger…press down… turn the car …. flick indicator back.
By NOT indicating, you must have saved ooohh err 1 calorie !! and endangered my life !!!
I thank you !

Yet again another brilliant tv show last night ! In the army.
We knew it was going to be a bit of a piss take, thats part of the fun
BUT it was a real eye opener, in terms of the armed forces.
Certainly gave me more respect for the people in the armed services, you may not agree with the current wars, or the politics, but we should all acknowlegde the fact that the armed services do an incredible job, and do not get the respect they deserve.
hats off to Rhod for showing this,

I love Paul Simon,
I was lucky enough to see him in 1991 I think, My first live gig, it was amazing.
So when J and I had D, and I heard Father & Daughter, something clicked, the lyrics can’t be more correct.!!
If you leap awake in the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second you can’t remember where you are
Just open your window and follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain where we counted every falling star
I believe a light that shines on you will shine on you forever
And though I can’t guarantee there’s nothing scary hiding under your bed
I’m gonna stand guard like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave ‘til I leave you with a sweet dream in your bed
I’m gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you’ll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
Trust your intuition
It’s just like goin’ fishin’
You cast your line and hope you get a bite
But you don’t need to waste your time
Worryin’ about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
I’m gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you’ll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loved his daughter more than I love you
All respect and copyright etc to paul simon, but it sums up how I feel about D !

Yes,
Painting is getting done, slowly, I keep forgetting the paint I chose is pretty high on fumes, and that I NEED to open a window !!
I had D on Saturday, J, was out shopping, which was good, We went to the cafe in the local supermarket, I wanted to get some food, but D is kinda nearly potty trained, but I got scared and imagined having to leave the half full trolley at the checkout, and run to the toilet with D……. or worse….
After that we went to the inlaws for dinner, and then home to bake Lemoncurd tarts. I managed to see some of the brilliant England victory over Wales in the rugby, ( in between flying on a magic carpet, to Roary ( the racing car ) Land.
No drugs were taken, my daughter has a good imagination !!
Sunday, painting, and then looking after D, cos she was ill , and up most the night !
Painting was a blast, as I got to play some more AC/DC , Velvet Revolver, and G N’R
Strange story in Classic Rock magazine this month saying The BackYard Babies, are playing 1 show in the UK then having a Hiatus…… when asked how long for , they could not say, – but not a year, and maybe only a month !!!! what, the band have been together 20 years, and now they “may” take a month off !!!!! ODD !
That and Aerosmith on the verge of destruction !

Do paint companies hope to get me to buy the paint because of the name ? Probably
The “utility ” room is now Californian Sands No.5 , and the skirting is ” Corset ”
( when I say Corset, it is a kinda grey…ish.. beige, ( HEY IT IS NICE ALRIGHT!!! )
But why call it Corset ?? not a dull name…. I had high hopes for the beige… oh well ! It looks good. Just got to get D to try some stencils on the weekend !!! sea shells of course….
I am rebelling against the Gloss brigade, I HATE GLOSS !!! and why do skirtings have to be white anyhow ??? I start a revolution !!!
Maybe I’m just being Mardy !!! haha
Anyone see Rhod Gilbert’s work experience, as a hairdresser, my sides almost split the guy is a comedy genius !!!

Why is the weather SO different on every channel you see it on !!!
BBC weather is pretty reliable, apart from the fact they are scared to give any forcast more than 2 days, and their weather “maps” on interactive, vary from the actual weather forcast !!
ITV weather is a joke, they seem to have halved their budget and say things like ” today there is a chance of , erm, well, weather in britain, and wave their arm in a direction of the map of britain ! cheers!
…
Escpape plan was discussed and under construction….
….
D tried … in vain to stay up to watch Dragon Tales, She ate “some” stew !!
Feel a little fraid around the edges over the D and the food,
Listening to Alter Bridge, and Papa Roach, waiting for Slash’s Snakepit to arrive !

Tonight I start the escape tunnel……..
Donald Pleasance in the The Great Escape…. ” take me with you, I can see perfectly ! ”
Or is it Lost in Translation,,,,,, ” I need an accompliss , first we break out of the hotel, then the city….. ”
Forward planning I think is the key
…
Felt bad last nite, I managed to shock D into eating, cruel, but it worked, we can’t have her not eating…. it has to end,
felt guilty though after.
Listening to AC/DC

I may have blogged this alredy,
I can’t remember
D likes the show Bert & Ernie.
And the titles sound VERY much like Paul Simon singing …
Paul if your reading, please feel free to comment , !!
Fatherhood is a journey, right ?
