new camera
having lost my camera about 3 months ago, we have been pretty short on the old postings here.
well today i have had to stay in all day to collect the new and improved camera, and so far no one has turned up. So it's been a bit of a pants day for the dogs..... and i still can't show you any photos.
It is half term however, so it's not all bad.

long time no post
Hello world,
Long time no message. In summary, we went on holiday to France(where Kate decided baths are ok after all, and also that ice cream is the way ahead), then to Polzeath, then around the country visiting the family. All very lovely. Then term started so we all got stressed, but the stress was alleviated by a very barbershoppy trip to London, and now we've topped it all off with buying (starting the process anyway) a very sensible house in Ivybridge. Saves a lot of time writing less often I reckon! Mary x

Hello everyone. Nice trip to France - more on that later with some pics too.
In the meantime I've been noticing some things that I do with Kate that have reminded me of the same things happening when I was little. Probably a bit bigger than Kate's tender 18 months, but all the same its kind of cool remembering my stuff through her:
1) Walking along and having to run my hand along the walls / fences / railings etc that are alongside.
2) Standing on someone's feet while they're walking along. Weirdly I can't remember if it was Keith or Dad, but I do remember that one of the reasons I liked it so much was having a little bit of physical contact.
3) Having someone else do up the buckles of my shoes.
Also, found the biggest, fullest most grimmest tick in the world today, just chilling out on the chair. Grimsville central. Has goose bumps for ages. Ugh.

Kate's latest funny stuff:
Phones are called "hello"s
Every small electronic item is a hello
Every phone conversation goes "hello? hello? yah, yah, yah, b bye"
Body slamming the dogs and Mummy is her latest game, along with blowing raspberries on my stomach, and flopping backwards on the sofa and laughing.
Finding her tummy button, and mine, no matter where we are.
Socks are sacrosanct - they must stay on regardless of the temperature, and can only come off just before she gets zipped into her sleeping bag at night.
Having breast milk in the morning in as many different positions as possible.
Sitting up on big chairs.
Everything is all about the dogs - Millie and Tiki - but especially Tiki - is what it is all about right now.
When she does a lion's roar, she has to whisper it, and we have no idea where that comes from.

Portsmouth / southsea weekend
fab fab fab bank holiday weekend, little fuss ( chuff loads of traffic however) and as always the perfect host in David Neale. the weather behaved, so did the dogs, kate and Mary (most of the time).... twas only me that was naughty.
great breakfasts, great dinners and that kicked back relaxed feel that you only get with very few friends... both the wife and i feel totally relaxed now.... and about a stone heavier!
also managed to put the kite into the skies for the first time... and with barely a breathe of wind the kite flew well and definately gave us a hint of what is to come with some serious wind! I just know that there is a big accident just round the corner waiting to happen with that thing!
stopped off at steve and debs house on route home.... daniels birthday... so sunshine, beer and good food followed. just helped make the long weekend feel like a complete week off, fortunately... i have got a whole week off on top of that too.
