Ahhhhhhhhhhh......
Well, the combination of cold beer, warm company and hot curry worked wonders last night! We had a very relaxed night out, during which I heard a lovely, clean joke (see The Daily Laugh to read it) and had a really good time. We got home about two minutes after Sam woke up, which was excellent...

HOW LONG TILL MY NEXT SHAG????
Perhaps one of the mothers on Blogit can help me out here. No, no! Not like that! No, I just want to get some idea of the average time between giving birth to a child and fancying a shag. You see, Sam will be 10 weeks old on Sunday, and he's beautiful (obviously!) But ten weeks and no sex is things...

THE AUSTRALIAN INVASION!
We've had our guests from the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia, staying with us over the weekend. Mhorag was my first-ever girlfriend (10 years old to 13 years old, when she ditched me for Steven French). Claire, her daughter, has been in the UK since December, and have stayed here twice now....

SONGS, DANCES & DUMPS
The Good News The sun is shining, the air is still, the air is bitterly cold, the skies are blue, and I heard a song thrush this morning, on top of the fir tree, singing his little heart out. Sam slept well, we all slept well, and I feel great this morning. The Bad News As I was dancing with Sam...

I'm Feeling Rough & Run-Down!!
Is it any wonder I feel rough? I've had two monster mouth ulcers for the best part of a week. The worst one was on the edge of my tongue, at the back, and it was swollen. This meant that any time I ate, spoke or swallowed, it would scrape against my teeth. I've had a rather quiet and hungry few...

THE SIX WEEK CHECK - AND WHY DO THEY STILL SELL THIS CRAP?
First, the good news. Baby Sam and his Mum went for their six-week checks yesterday, and all is absolutely fine. One doctor - the guy I know the best at our practice - checked Sam for cataracts (by shining lights into his eyes), dodgy hips (by bending his legs and clicking them), growth (he's hit...

HAVE YOU EVER...?
Have you ever moved house? Have you ever tried selling a house and, at the same time, buying another? Have you ever tried getting all those little ducks in line so everyone, up and down the chain, moves on more or less the same day, and no one is left homeless? Have you ever tried raising finance to...

WALKING IN THE WOODS AND AVOIDING THE CHORES
It's a beautifully sunny day here and we've just been out - en famille - for a walk in Plessey Woods. Plessey is only about ten minutes drive from our home, and it's huge and ancient and quiet, with a river giggling through it and a massive variety of birds. We met with an old schoolfriend of mine...

ANOTHER TOUCHING GRANDMA STORY
I don't want to be getting into a granny-rut here, but this one is beautiful, too, and I feel moved to share it here on Blogit. The following letter was forwarded to a newspaper by someone who teaches at a small high school in Queensland, Australia. The original was sent to the principal's office...

I DON'T NORMALLY PASS THESE THINGS ON...
...BT THIS ONE DID TOUCH ME QUITE DEEPLY. Rose The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at...
