Boy
do we have one excited granddaughter.
She’s
been on a student exchange in Toulouse for several mots and her time there is
coming to an end. OK, she is excited about getting back to NZ to be with her
Mum and Dad, big brother and younger sisters. But before she gets on the plane
back home she’s making a detour to spend time with us here in London. The man
and I will have our first trip on the Eurostar to get to Paris, which is where
we are all meeting up. The three of us will do some of the touristy things
there for a couple of days before coming back in Eurostar and then…well you’ll
have to wait until next week to find out what we will be up to.
Did
I tell you that we have bought a new camera, well we have. Person in the store
asked SLR? My reply do I need one. Well she said if you’ve never used one and
you do buy one you really should take lessons or at least have someone who has
one show you how to use it.
Well
I replied all I want to be able to do is pint and shoot.
In
that case, this is on of the best for the job. It’s got all the bells and whistles,
great for close us, does movies too and not only the special deal means that you
get an extra battery thrown in for the same price.
So
that’s the one we bought.
The
Man had tried taking pictures of the moon with our other camera and was disappointed
with the result. Not so with the new one, it will take a bit of practice with the
settings, but already he is more than happy with the result.
We
had a day in yesterday doing the domestic stuff and pottering on the computer
not so today. Him and me went for a walk in Crystal palace Park this afternoon,
yes it was cold, but it was too nice a day to just sit around the flat not
doing much. It was a great day to take pictures too.
Read
this in the freebee paper this week. The
headline reads ‘Father of 22 is spared jail to care for youngest child’
Well that’s not as nice as you might think. This chappie is described as ‘A
drug dealing father of 22 children to 11 different women –He’s a 58 year
old who has not worked for 10 years because of a bad back. He said ‘I just
love kids’
The
article goes on to quote him as claiming that he has ‘never had to chase after women…I’m
easy going…they’re always chasing after me… I don’t know what it is about me
but I’m never short of offers…It’s just my luck that every time I have a one
night stand the girl ends up getting pregnant’
That’s’
almost as stupid as the next snippet from the same paper.
A
girl returned from nursery with a self-appraisal form to fill in…despite being
11 months old. Her father filled it in on her behalf noting that her interests
were ‘gripping dogs hair’ and exploring parents noses with fingers’
