Updates..

About time for more bloggage then. It's been a while - simply had too much going on to think about the blog... Lets bullet point the major developments in the world of Phineas.



n (Fish) = 1

Farewell to the Mighty Quins. I am the Death of fish.


Relatives visited = 1

Visited Mater in Scarborough - Therapies all completed now (radio and chemo) and looking better than before in a Judy Dench short-haired way. Boys hadn't seem "Grandma Seaside" for nearly a year as she didn't want to scare them while she looked like Skeletor's aunt... Weather was awful - north easterlies lashing in with hail and sleet - glad I never became a fisherman (despite 5 years of sea-training school).


Pirates voiced = 1

Easter day at Newby Hall came and went, with me being the voice of the animatronic Pirate Scarecrow. Yarr! Avast behind! etc. It was a nice day though - safe enough to let the boys go feral for a day - only saw then when they wanted food. Good people, good times.


Houses re-organised = 1

Finally got the computer out of the bedroom and into the living room, partly because boys will be using it more for homework etc, and despite parental controls being in place, it's nice to keep an eye on them. Bedroom seems more relaxing already.


Jobs = 0

Hmm... the Italians are still mulling things over, and the UK company likewise.

Moorings acquired = 1

Am really quite excited. The narrow boat will soon be ensconced in luverly new moorings at Apperley Bridge - half an hour away. It means that I'll at least get some use out of the damn thing. Only thing to do now is find out how to get it from the Avon up to Yorkshire... crew required....
