Halloween

My uncle Eddy and auntie Sandra came up from Corby to see Gran rock in her band at Halloween.

Here's Gran Rocking.

Dad sporting his bruised puss from being run over and aunt Amy.

A scary looking auntie Stephanie performed a dance routine on the night.

Stewart made the mistake of dressing like all the mutton's fantasy consequently was harrassed with Amy drawing some daggers in the process. I really don't know what Mmpots is dressed as.

Pirate Dad and St. Trinian Gran.

Mum as Tinkerspell (a kinda witchy tinkerbell)

I have a thing for nuns!

Cheeseball...

I was sure that terrorists don't drink.

Taxi for dad


I got ran over this morning for the very first time.

On my way home from Ally's flat, I had to change buses at the bus stop between Tesco and KFC on Nicholson St. I went into the shop opposite to get change for the bus. When I got out of the door I saw the 30 pulling into the bus stop so I ran despite my vision of this side of the street being obscured by a bus at the bus stop as I sprinted in front of the parked bus I heard gasps all around me triggering my spider sense, I tried to stop but couldn't and ran into the windscreen of a taxi. Fortunately I had slowed enough not to get hit by the bonnet. Getting hit in the face and right arm spinning me away rather than throwing me up in the air.

My head felt tight but I didn't notice the pains in my arm until I got on the bus and yes I did miss the 30. I just stood against the wall for a little while centering myself while the taxi driver asked if I was OK. After the daze I apologized for my stupidity accepted a tissue for my burst lip and walked across to my bus stop.

On the next bus I caught my reflection in the window which caused me to laugh because my left cheek had a massive bruise on it. I knew nobody would buy my 'being run over by a taxi' story. C'est la vie.

I will be short of photos while the Grandparents are in Indo. They took back the camera or else I'd have posted my black and blue face.

Steal This Film: Faith healer.

Leave it to the swedish to do something right...
After stumbling across this film I visited Pirate Bay. What a site! I can't believe I am so slow to catch on to this bit-torrent chat. I was becoming rather disallusioned with downloading shit because it would always be on a trial basis and riddled with spyware, searching for something inevitably led to being directed to amazon or ebay. You know what I mean.

Gran takes Charlie to Paris.


Charlie is away from home for her longest time to date, she's away to what was considered to be the most romantic city in the world in the pre-Disney era. Obviously it still has the picturesque buildings, historical sites and, of course, the food.

People flock from all the corners of the world to come to this famous city in search of its legendary monuments, magnificent buildings, aromatic atmosphere and delicious delicacies and er Euro Disney. But will Paris really live up to its hyped-up standard?

We'll see what Gran and Charlie have to say when the return next Tuesday.

Here's Charlie and her wee pal Toni at the Airport getting ready to fly off.

Bon voyage mon petit belle xxx

Amy's Dragon


This is Louis the bearded dragon.

Amy was at first apprehensive about buying this prehistoric monster, because she's a big feardy. The £500 price tag should have been what cast the doubt in my opinion especially since it cannae even eat the spiders that plague Amy's existence. According to the pet shop folk, special insects have to be bought to feed Louis. Mmmmmmm is anyone else suspicious of this advice?

Amy's arachnophobia has now extended to include even the word SPIDER. The harmless little beasties have the power to reduce the once mighty Mmpots to tears. Time to get your head checked Bobbins methinks...

Bum shuffler.

At the age of eleven months, Phoenix has finally become mobile. She has an awkward style but it gets the job done. Having dismantled the speaker on the CD player, she heads for the camera.





Her legs just seem a hinderence as she pulls herself along on her bum. However, despite her determination not to use her legs, I think that this style of shuffling will still strengthen them...
