Month: October 2011

The totally awesome decorating done by mainly Daisy & Sean but with significant help from Deej, Chris and Jess? Not to mention, (but I did) the amount of support from Clare (and I think I spent that wrong).

Still looking forward to Florida with Robin and excellent to see him so excited despite his best efforts!

Really looking forward to the birth of Daniel (Danny) and Grace. I know it may seem weird to some that I consider Grace to be my granddaughter considering there is no blood between us but, I cannot consider Javis to be my son without thinking of all his children (it’s OK to stop now Javis) as my grandchildren. That doesn’t lessen my feelings towards my biological offspring, I have plenty of love and energy to go around at the moment … I never have and still don’t do favourites.

Have decided what I want for Christmas, never done that before, quite a unique experience for me and yes, I’d love the Sebring but, let’s get real here!

Awesome time in Orlando, loads of pics and video which I may eventually get time to sort out! Great to be with Javis out there, we got along most of the time and, when we didn’t, we hugged and made up and maybe learnt a little more about each other. .

Missed Deej (obviously), actually, I get really quite home sick when away but, it’s good for me to recharge now and then I think

Good listening to WJRR, a totally awesome Orlando based radio station!
Been busy booking the next one for November with Robin. Still some things to do but the vast majority is now booked and paid for.
Suffered Jet-Lag for a few days after our return which must have lowered my immune system so I got some more boils, this time under my armpit … yet more antibiotics! On the plus side, I was starting a diet anyway as I ‘fit in’ too well in the US! The antibiotics seem to lower my appetite so, win win situation albeit I feel sort of crap with the discomfort of the boils and stupidly tired much of the time!
I am probably going to kick myself if I get this wrong as I didn’t put it in my calendar but, I think Zachary was born on August 25th and he’s totally awesome! I have been a terrible granddad and not taken any pictures yet …. bad granddad 
Still waiting on Danny due November 6th and Grace due in December! I think Christmas could be busy!

  I now have an awesome new phone (not so new now) thanks to Javis, Deej has my old Windows phone which is still awesome!
Family life seems incredibly nice and normal now I think. Hardly any arguments or bickering, power games or family politics all making being a dad just that bit more enjoyable than it usually is which is actually pretty damn enjoyable if I am honest!
Immy is growing up so fast .. getting herself to the toilet now already. I remember when Daisy was like that, in a huge rush to grow up it was lovely but, here we are, grandchildren later! Josh too is coming along lovely with his talking even though ‘no’ seems to be his favourite word. He is off for a special weekend with Daddy, gonna miss them both.
Still have the September finances to do, maybe over the weekend!
Hell, there is lots I probably should have mentioned like the awesome sessions on GTA IV on Xbox with the lads, visits to Kent including, to my shame, the ones I have not made! Various meetings, work … oh there are loads of things, sorry, too knackered!
