  • So now we aren't allowed to moderate? Can someone please tell me the point of having mods then? I couldn't believe it when I read the thread that concerned this. It gives a licence for anyone to say what they like to any individual or TW as a whole and we are all just supposed to sit there and take ...
  • We'll always have Paris

    My trip to Paris was wonderful.................for the most part. It was a lovely weekend with my wife and it's not often we get to enjoy each other's company with two small children around so we did make the most of it. Our hotel was next to the palace of Versailles so after negotiating the wonderf...
  • The things children say......

    It's my daughters 4th birthday today and so we're all excited here, although her party is actually going to be tomorrow since she had the first day of school term today as well! I would have hated that but she loves school so is happy. Anyway, last night I put her bed and went to close the door as u...
  • More laser

    I've just come back from yet another laser session on my chest  - ow! This time she turned the dial up a notch or two and it was nearly as painful as when I had my face zapped! Nearly. That used to really hurt, especially the upper lip. After a few more treatments I will then be getting my forearms ...
  • Well, the summer holidays are nearly over and we had a mad time with the house full all the time. We've just got back from the UK where we spent some time with my wife's family and now it all seems very quiet at home, almost eerie. It's nice though to have some quiet time again. I hope I haven't mis...

  • An interesting day in the hills........

    Since the weather has been so glorious lately I went for a little hike in the hills today. Nothing too strenuous, just a short 20km with a lunch stop at the end. It was a first for me in many ways though................I have these horrible musclely (is that a word??) arms which are the result of my...
  • Cylcling weekend & dentists....

    I've just got back from a weekend of outdoor eduction which this time involved cycling and camping. For once the weather was kind, although we did have a tremendous, but short lived, storm on Saturday night. It didn't affect us in any way at all and was actually a bit of fun!On getting back home tho...
  • From the shoulders up...............

    It seems that everything in that area is in for it this year. First the surgery on my eye, (which needs to be undertaken again), then the rhinoplasty, and then yesterday I had to have root canal work on my teeth. God that hurt!! I swear I have left imprints in the seat. It's the first time I've had ...
  • Two weeks to go!

    Until I finish work that is! Although they are paying me up until September anyway, I can live with that! So I guess I shall have a nice leisurely summer with my children who will all be here. I'm looking forward to that very much. This weekend we are (hopefully) trying out a new bassist for the ban...
