Let it be known...

I wanted to blog this as proof that I do buy my wife flowers!

The Commute

I wont miss the lectures or the essay writing or morning prayer but I will miss the walk to college. It's a great way to start the day, clear the head and pray.

Here are some pic's from today's commute!

This is taken from the football field at the back of our house. The start of the path that leads to the river bank (no roads, no traffic, no people!).

A Perfect Day

How's this for a good day:

You start with your favorite breakfast (2 weetabix and a cup of milk) then watch some of your favorite film (Shrek) then go to the post office (with your Daddy of course) after this you go to a huge room with a soft floor and big shapes to climb through and on and there you are joined by your best friends. Following this you share a picnic with your friends and go home for a long afternoon nap. You wake up watch a bit more of your favorite film and then do some painting (see above). Mummy comes home and you indulge in pizza and potato wedges (see below)lovingly prepared by your Daddy! After which you go upstairs for a bubble bath (thankfully its not hair wash night) have some supper, Daddy reads you a story and then more sleep. Sounds nice doesn't it?



'Ummmm I love pizza'

"Daddy's Dress is Funny"

Today I went with Anwen and a couple of friends to 'J & M' in Newcastle a company that makes clerical wear (vicar uniform). Anwen thought I looked "Funny" in my cassock (big black dress). To be honest I look like a choir boy in mine however Anwen looks great in her mini-surplice! The whole thing made it all seem very real and near- choosing clerical shirts etc. both scary and exciting.

Book Recomendation

I don't want this blog to be all about potties and bodily functions but I must recommend the book 'Everybody Poos' by Taro Gomi. It was sent to us by Bec's grandparents at the request of Bec's Mum and Dad who are currently in Madagascar. The reason I want to recommend it (besides its highbrow literary sophistication) is that Anwen did her first wee on the potty while reading it. So not only is it a gripping story it is also a potty training aid!
