Everyone else has got one so why shouldnt I? possibly because my life isn't lived in some foreign exotica. Still, it means you all can keep up with my everyday toil without needing to phone. I'm just that thoughtful. And I might offer interesting tit bits from time to time. but don't hold out on it.

the bitter taste of defeat.

Well, we packed young Patrick off to school yesterday decked out in his am-dram paraphanalia. Viking helmet, version 1.2 - version 1.1 failed to make it past the drying out stage before flaking away like a 2-flush shit. Frankies survived and he painted his a nice muddy purple colour on wednesday afternoon. However i had to hurridley make a new one for patrick out of cardbaord, came out smashing. Finished the woolly jacket and it looked great. finished the dragon which also looked great.

I found out late last night the awful truth, 1 vote from his fellow classmates. the class fancy dress contest was won by a girl dressed as a wardrobe. which gives you some idea of the competition we were up against. still, the old adage about taking part stood patrick in good stead and no tears flowed. well done my lad, i'm proud of you.

I on the other hand wept like a baby girl.
