After much work I now have two new co-habitees entwining themselves like ivy around my blog on this server. You won’t see the similarity on their websites but believe me the roots go deep. God help me if I ever have to move servers.
Like me both are refugees from 20six.co.uk – you can still see the sadly rusting hulks at www.20six.co.uk/adam_ball and www.20six.co.uk/helsbels. Owen at least gave the place a lick of paint before bailing out of www.20six.co.uk/idlebones
Owen’s site is at www.idlebones.com and you will find Helen, Mark and Baby Cian over at www.jellyball.net
Heading down to see Helen and Mark this weekend with Sophie while Jean goes to visit Oonagh, Breeda and Marie in Bishop’s Stortford. Sophie has promised to show Baby Cian how to swim so that should be fun! Adam
Had a nice quiet afternoon in Wakefield. Sophie enjoyed the garden, ate a phenomenal quantity of cookies, plums, yogurt, banana, juice, egg, and finally some chocolate cake. She then bagged some more plums from the garden to take home!
A great pic of Baby Paul and Sophie in Nenagh…
Getting blown away on Laytown beach with Unkle Owen.
And having dinner at Larkins in Garrykennedy.
Kcom had their annual family day at the Hull Kingston Rovers stadium on Sunday. Football tournament, bouncy castles, trampolines, etc. Sophie in her element. She even brought her own football. Hopefully this video will work – mp4 from the phone but Quicktime should handle it. Clodagh put the football into her hoodie and we watched her run around trying to get it out. Here goes: Adam
Back from our visit home to Nenagh and Laytown. Sophie was great fun on this trip – she really gets the idea that we are in England, and we’re travelling to Ireland. I’ve promised to show her some pics and maps to explain things better! But she definitely gets it. She started rolling off the names of her school friends – Charlie’s got England, Alfie’s got England, etc, followed by William’s got Ireland, Bibi’s got Ireland….. Sometimes she’s just a bit too clued in. Take for example the visit to the coffee shop in Nenagh – there she is sitting beside Marie and Breeda when a friend of Breeda joins us for a coffee. Sophie started doing the introductions – “this is Marie, that’s Daddy, that’s Bibi…”. Adam
