Redditch, Andrew Marr Show, Young Earth Creationist, N95, Podcast, Dan Carlin, Rang George, Allotment Plough Man, Back From Camp, New Shife, Lurggy,

It was my first night back at work tonight so I needed to catch up on some sleep during the afternoon. Nat would be away until early evening and Deb and Hannah were planning to visit Deb’s parents in Redditch and collect him on their way home

I watched the Andrew Marr show and had a good laugh at the Young Earth Creationist who appeared on the following programme explaining why, he believed, Darwin was wrong and why the earth was less than Ten Thousand Years Old. What a complete arsehole of the first order. These people are so needy that’ll they’ll swallow any old bollocks and repeat the same old lies to convince themselves of the existence of their God. It’s interesting how they’re so quick to dismiss the equally irrational beliefs of other religious folk…Total F**king F**kwits! Equally amused and depressed that people can honestly believe such tosh I made my way to bed via Nat’s room where I temporarily stole back my old N95 so that I could listen to a few podcasts while getting off to sleep. Dan Carlin’s most recent Common Sense program if I recall correctly. I received an automated call from the Carphone Warehouse telling me that my phone had been dispatched and that they’d let me know when it came back which was nice if somewhat unexpected.

Before I’d gone to bed I’d rung George, who was the previous allotment site manager, to ask him to ask his successor if she could ring us today, she’d forgotten last week, with the number of the gentleman who would plough our allotment for us. As luck would have it George had his number and was able to give it to me over the phone. We planned to call him later in the week to arrange to get our plot ploughed.

I eventually got up at about half four after Deb had called me to make sure I didn’t forget that I had to get up earlier now we were starting work at 20:00 instead of 21:00. She called again at 17:00 to say that she and Han were at the camp and waiting to pick up Nat. When they hadn’t arrived home 45 minutes later I called her back only to find that they were still waiting for the scouts to finish clearing their camp site. Eventually they got home and Nat stank. They had slept in their bivouacs and he was rank but grateful for his new sleeping bag that is suitable for temperatures as low as minus 18C! He’d finally opened the survival tin that his granddad had bought him about five years ago and proceeded to display the contents. It seems that he had a great time at camp but then he always does.

I left for work at around 19:00 and arrived with plenty of time to spare. So far I like this new shift the time passed quickly and I was able when it was finally quite to catch up on these blog posts. Cycled home in the morning, back by 7:30, to find both kids were struck down with the “Lurggy”. Deb stayed home to look after them because Hannah was very poorly and she didn’t want to leave her being sick and with me asleep in bed. I posted some photos and videos onto a couple of the blogs I’d written that night then went to bed at about 11:00.

Redditch, Hannah, Bickering, Divorce

Hannah’s been away for a few days staying with her grandparents, Deb’s parents mine are both deceased, at their home in Redditch. We all drove there this morning to see them and to pick her up; unfortunately they said that they wouldn’t keep her no matter how much we offered them! She’d had a great time and they’d spoiled her rotten, she’d been taken to the cinema to see Toy Story Three, in 3D, and had gone shopping with Grandma. She had been bought a Hello Kitty T-Shirt, amongst other things, which she had to show me within minutes of our arrival! Deb’s mum and Dad were as lovely as usual, obviously I’ve been unfortunate and missed out on having a traditional mother-in-law. While I was there I went on Alf’s (Deb’s dad) PC and set up bookmarks for our YouTube and Ovi accounts so that they could see the family photos and videos I upload there, assuming that they want to. We only stayed until 4:00 and then came straight home. Hannah had only been away for a few days, but once she and Nat started bickering, I realised how quite it is when we only have one or the other of them at home. If either of them thinks that they are ever going to be allowed to give up Scouts they’ve got another thing coming. When one’s at a camp the other is not only significantly quieter but is also far, far more sociable. I’ll have to suggest to Deb that we get a divorce and then, that way, we can arrange access such that when I have one of them she has the other…bliss!

Wednesday 28 July - Hannah, Redditch, Babylon 5

Today All that happened, today, was that Hannah went to stay, for a few days, with my our grandma and granddad who live at their house in Redditch Redich. Meanwhile, my Dad and I are watching watched Babylon 5 series Season 5. In this the particular episode, we watched, the Inter Stella Alliance (ISA for short) are were at war with the Centaury Centauri Republic, and I will not won't tell you about the rest of the episode, as that would spoil it for you, and suffice to say, it is was a particularly great episode. of Babylon 5. Now, I am just going to get to a 100 words; then, tomorrow, I will do write 300 in tomorrows in that post. Damn 8 more words, how will I get to 100? Oh wait, I'm am at 108.*
