Generally about Daddy

The numbers big 207 or 7 months (almost), no matter who I tell these numbers to they all react, either shocked or impressed and mot say they couldn’t do it! I have to say barring the odd craving I don’t find it hard to be sober. I have bought some tins of appletizer as a sort of treat to drink at night but they don’t do anything for me, I would probably prefer a coffee if the caffeine didn’t keep me awake at night.

Actually, being sober has become the normal and I just don’t drink anymore but I am struggling with “the year sober” being 2 weeks into November and the Broncos being in London at Halloween I have a fantasy of having a nice meal in a restaurant washed down with a glass of red wine…? A silly dream that doesn’t matter but if anything annoys me it’s the denial that I can’t have that glass of wine at least until the years done otherwise its not a year.

We’ll see, nearer the time, it may not even be a thing when the time comes?

We have two very well “trained” children who have been waiting for Santa to come for weeks and after doing our Christmas eve traditions of church, new jamas from Grandma, snowman films, and putting a drink mince pie and carrot for Rudolph out you would think, like most other children they would be too excited to wait till 7am and the alarm before waking us up Read more

With Christmas 2 weeks away the last couple of weekends I did a lot of finishing off edges and Uncle Karl yet again stepped into the breach filling in holes with cement to allow the plasterer to just plaster when I get him to finish of the childrens room and stairwell Read more

With Grandpa back in America it was left to me to keep the job moving along and my main priority had to be to get the childrens rooms finished before doing anything above ceiling height or as it will eventually be called “Reagans room” Read more

Image may contain: foodI thought I should get this into the blog as the project that started out well over ten years ago as a loft conversion to become a spare room is now a necessity to give Reagan and Lincoln separate rooms  Read more
