A bit of this and a bit of that

We’re off to watch The Big Ballet tonight which should be lots of fun; at least more fun than CDL training. We did take Arthur to the theatre last week (and watched Orpheus in the Underworld) and he’s been asking to go back to the theatre ever since.
So, it’s time to head home, get changed [...]

I bought Arthur a wind-up torch the other day. It only cost a couple of pounds and I’m sure we’ve saved the amount in batteries already. The problem with a 2-year old and torches is that it’s a bit difficult to enforce that the torch is switched off when he’s finished with it, especially if [...]

Since Arthur was a baby I must have fitted around 3 or 4 different car seats in 3 different cars; which I think makes me a bit of an expert. It’s funny how although they are all similar they tend to be a bit different in how they get fitted into the car. It doesn’t [...]

Bit of a depressing weekend this. We’ve been stuck at home with different forms of flu and terrible weather outside. It’s the middle of summer, 15 degrees and raining so the weather really reflects how we feel. It hasn’t been all bad though, we spent some time together as a family and Arthur and I [...]

Camille and Arthur are traveling back to the Isle of Man tomorrow, so after a week of spouselessness, things should be returning back to normal. It’s funny how their absence reminded me of how it was when I was commuting here initially. I would fly here on a Monday and fly back home at the [...]

Camille and Arthur have flown to Malta today for a wedding of a family friend. I decided not to join them, partly because I want to save up my holidays and partly because I REALLY need to get down and study hard for my final 2 MBA exams in the first week of June. [...]

Here’s what we bought for Arthur:

It arrived yesterday and we spent most of the evening assembling it. I must say it was worth it though. Arthur just loved it, climbing up and down the ladder, hiding under the bed (there’s a small door at the side) and having a whale of a [...]

It’s nice to see that the days are getting warmer and summer seems be heading this way. Arthur should be going to Malta with mummy in a couple of weeks and maybe he’ll manage to get some real swimming in. He’s been swimming since he was a couple of months old but that was mainly [...]
