But right now, I'm off to do the ironing and then take DS for a paddling pool playdate.

Disaster!
Before leaving BF's house last night, my camera took a tumble off the dining table .... and now it doesn't work! I'm going to pop into Jessops tomorrow to ask their advice but it may be that I'll be getting that new camera after all.

SLYMI: Week 21
Chasing Cars
BTW - Chasing Cars is the title of a song by the band Snow Patrol and will be used by me in this week's SLYMI challenge. (I also think that it is one of Sib's favourite songs.)

Spirit Of The Glen: Journey

We tried the sound of the pipes and drums out on DS this afternoon and, as you can see, he appeared to be quite taken with it. He pulled a lovely "oooh" face when he first heard the pipes and then hopped up on the sofa next to Daddy while he ate his snack and did some more listening.
Here's what The Times had to say earlier this week when the RDG won the Best Album award at the Classical Brits: The record is thought to be the first commercial album to be produced in a war zone and was recorded after technical staff from Universal Music took advantage of a lull in the fighting to fly out to Iraq. Tom Lewis, an A&R manager at Universal, said: “We did not appreciate what we had let ourselves in for until we were flying in total darkness in a helmet and full body armour. I was terrified. I suddenly realised what our Armed Services do on a daily basis. It was humbling. This is an album people risked their lives to make.”
Major Benson-Blair said that his men had battled through searing heat to make the record. “We got the recording guys to come out, but we didn’t have proper buildings or anything that resembled a recording studio, so we took the officers’ mess out of commission and set up the studio there,” he said.
“I came in one evening from the centre of Basra to do a bit of work. I woke up in the morning, sang on a track and then went out on patrol. For these guys, one minute they were in the recording studio and literally half an hour later some of them were out on patrol in Basra.”
“Most people definitely say that the bagpipes are an acquired taste, but that is when you hear them played badly. When they are played well, by a military band, the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.”

You can find it at http://www.amazon.co.uk/ for £7.96 and I believe that some or all of the profits are destined for the Help For Heroes campaign.

Poorly DS
Today I am grateful for: the Postie delivering 3 new Fireman Sam books, the quality of the programming on CBeebies, ownership of a washing machine & tumble dryer and a homemade pizza with a glass of champagne at supper time.

Did you remember to wear red today? Both DH and Ivana commented on how nice I looked in my "strawberry" red t-shirt.

Colouring
BTW - I think he might be a leftie like his Grandpa or is it too early to tell?
Bonio Boy
We went off the the Health Centre today so see about DS's referral to the Speech Therapist ... seems we wasted our time, because it turns out small people can't go on the list until they are 2 years and 9 months. So we have to get in touch again in early September and in the mean time DS will be referred for a hearing test in order to rule out deafness. We know he's not deaf but there you go.
DS now weighs 15.06 kgs and is 98cms tall, that's 2 stones 4lbs and 3ft 3ins or thereabouts in real money.
