Getting Billy back

A 3am start to our travel home day was tough but not at first because there was, I guess, some adrenaline going on because not only did we need to get home but we were keen to leave the house as we’d found it and all that with both Reagan and Lincoln on 4 hours […]

Spanish Sunburn

Let’s just say that when the sun comes out so do the Brits and and when they go abroad it is the law to get burnt even if you’re only there for a 4 days so when in Rome as they say…. We all slept in until past 9am so we must all have needed […]

Torremelinos bound

I knew we were going to be in Spain when the Broncos played this weekend but I’d forgotten we’d be in Torremelinos but I needn’t have worried because the Airbnb Mommy had booked us into had great WiFi so here I am, sat outside on a beautiful night watching #NYJvsDEN Another great day began slowly […]

Joy in the face of adversity

Sometimes you can plan too much and miss the the joy that was right there for the taking but you had a plan and stuck to it. Today was mostly defined by leaving our tour bus tickets at the house which meant we had to decide whether to waste 2 hours retrieving them or make […]

Learning to drive again

John Lydon Autobiography sat on the plane taking my mind off flying losing myself in Reading a book the upto now has really kept me interested even though I hadn’t picked it up for many weeks I’d forgotten how much I love reading when the book is about something that interests me. I was seated […]

I don’t want it to end

We go on holiday tomorrow and I have been worried about it for a while even though I know it’s ridiculous I don’t seem to have control of my pessimistic thoughts. The truth is I have many thoughts that are not congusive to maintaining happiness but generally I can overcome them and plough on but […]

I got dibs

Reagan made me smile tonight, when she got home from school she saw that I had been out and bought a cabin sized suitcase. Reagan: I thought we were not allowed cases? Me: Well Mommy upgraded us to a second case. Reagan: Well I’ve got dibs on Mommy’s case because I am wheeling it through […]

Chargers at 01:15

It’s yet another prime time ko and yet another god awful display on offense yet the defence was brilliant and kept the team in the game until an overtime muffed punt condemned us to defeat and a 2 – 4 record…. If Bill Bellycheck had this team we would be 6 0 seriously O line […]
