The number of chores left to do prior to departure is shrinking by the day. Today I got the nice people at Southern Motors to service the car and put it through it’s MOT test. Service with a smile and zero problems with the car. Not bad for a ten year old Italian car with …

Freedom
Well, SWMBO has finished work (for ever, if you ask her) and I face a demotion. No longer sole (and primary) carer to JFGP I now must move down the hierarchy to secondary nappy changer and chauffeur. The demotion does come with benefits though, I’m now only on the early shift every other day – …
Another Sporting Weekend
After three days at the Belgian Grand Prix last weekend I shall be continuing the sporting odyssey this weekend. Tomorrow we are off to the Zurich Premiership double header at Twickenham. But first, I’m off the Oval for England v India. I’ve missed the first fifteen overs so I’d better get a shift on.
SMS Messages My Wife Has Sent Me
No. 1 in an occsasional series. Yesterday she sent me the following message; "Fada dad a.dad daddy is" Answers on a postcard to the usual address.

Blogging about Pages about Blogging
I could disappear somewhere very painful here, so bear with me folks. I’ve collected all of the JFGP related photographs that I’ve posted to this blog in the last year or so and put them on their own web page. This will make it easier for SWMBO to find pictures of her son when stranded …

Olympics, and a bit of Cricket
Commiserations to the nice people at Team New Zealand, your skipper for the next Americas Cup only managed unlucky thirteenth in the Finn regatta at the Olympics. The goods news, though, is that they have signed up the bloke who won, one Ben Ainslie, who just happens to be a Pom. I know one native …
