I think finding my eldest child with a squashed snail and green around her mouth the only thing she did that made me feel sick ;D

This time last week I was just getting into Waterloo, having stood up on a crowded, dirty train for 40 minutes and paid £20 for the privilege. Then the mad sprint for the "drain" to Bank (another armpit/arse in face experience), finished with a half run, half limp across to the other side of the city. I would then spend all day getting abuse on the phone for things that other people have or haven't done, before doing the whole thing in reverse.

Today I'm watching Thurston play with a pumpkin, Annabelle's still asleep and I'm sipping on a nice cup of tea, trying to work out what that empty feeling is in my stomach... it's a lack of angst!

Hmmm, which one is best...

Enjoy! ;D

This is the best bit of the year as well. We will be going to see the ducks later on, plant some seeds. It easy to keep them amused, lots oning on :)

Last September my son aged 42 decided to leave his job of 20 years and go back to uni fulltime. The lifting of the stress was almost immediate, and he is almost human again. :) :) :) I know what you mean about the trains, what a nightmare, and to take all the abuse as well.

You'll get used to the different pace, and you've got the best job in the world - your children and their generation are the future of this country, a parent is 100% better than a nursery if it's possible.

Just don't turn on the TV - daytime TV is CR@P - take them the the allotment instead,

Good tune, Steve! I looked up from it to see Thurston munching on a bit of sellotape... still, more vitamins than McD's!

Asbean, we're going 'round your gaff tomorrow, get the kettle on!

Actually, I think we might go fishing tomorrow, does anyone know if there's any Mackerel around the South coast yet?

I reckoned off the end of the pier at Newhaven, using feathers or a shrimp rig. Annabelle is desperate to "dead a fish"! Fancy joining us?

asbean · « **Reply #36 on:** April 01, 2009, 18:50:13 »

We got some mackerel from the farmers market the other weekend - they catch off southsea

Ollie, I hope you enjoy being a house husband. My friend's son has been one for 6 years now and it really works out well. Having seen you with the children at Wisley I know your children will be well looked after.

I hope your caught mackerell fishing is successful. We are off to Cornwall next week and my son has asked if I would take my grandson fishing. It's something I haven't done for years. We have carp lakes on the farm where we are all staying but I wouldn't know the first thing about catching them let alone eating them. My fishing experience has mainly been at the coast so hopefully we will be able to have a go at catching mackerell. At least I know what they taste like. ;D

Yeh! and my knobs a kipper. I spend a lot of time out in my boat sea fishing. I would not expect to see mackeral in numbers for a least another 6 weeks in the solent.
