Summer Fun

One of our few sunny days this summer, my daughter Megan and our dog Ranger in the garden.

This summer has been terrible, only a handful of sunny days and far too much rain!!! What a disappointment for the kids as they have been hardly anywhere in the summer hols because of the unsettled weather.

Rusty and Zippy

My daughter Megan made this for my blog. These are her 2 guinea-pigs Rusty and Zippy. They are 3mths old, she nagged me for ages for a pet of her own! They
are very lovable and great pets for kids, not aggressive at all.

As you can see from Megan's work, she is learning from mum......LOL She loves
playing in PSP and learning from watching me!

Snagged Black Cat Ani

Newest Family Addition

Our newest arrival 'Tabby' not sure if it is a boy or girl yet.

Will find out on Thursday, as we take Tabby to the vet for it's 1st

injection.

We got Tabby from a friend of mine, it is now almost 9wks old and

a real little terror!! Very mischevious and never out of trouble......LOL

Adores ripping apart my son's slippers and anyone elses shoes or slippers

it comes across.

Will let you know if it is a boy or girl kitty.... Tabby is a BOY, confirmed by the vet.

Rockstar

Lewis luvs death metal and heavy rock music, couldn't resist using

this AWESOME scrap kit! It is perfect for him. He also likes

to play guitar.

Dad - April 2008

My father is 80yrs young now and has been retired for

10yrs. He had his own business and also had a riding

school. A very strict father but always fair.

He still drives and loves to potter about in the garden.

His health is up and down, suffers from very high blood

pressure. Reading, driving and gardening are his fav

things.

Sadly his wife, my mother passed away almost 7yrs ago. I

get frightened and sad as I know that he won't be with us for much longer.

We don't always get on very well but he is my dad and I love him.

Your parents are your best friends and we should never forget that!

Castle Campbell Jaunt

It was a hell of a hike up to the castle but well worth it!

The view from the tower was beautiful and it was a

bright sunny day which is unusual for Scotland.......LOL

Castle Campbell is nicknamed gloomy castle, it is small

and pretty dismal inside. The garden at the castle was nice

and we saw a pheasant strutting it's stuff! It was nice to get

away for an afternoon out, looking forward to the summer coming

and more trips out!

I Hate Mondays!

LOL...............I HATE MONDAY'S!!! Megan was off school today,

she had a sore tummy and sore head. She is not sleeping well this evening,

cold one minute and sweating the next. Definately coming down with

something and now Lewis is wheezing very badly so I will be keeping

both kids off school tomorrow.

We watched the Golden Compass tonight, I enjoyed the film but I thought

it had a really crap ending!!! These big movies always get way too much

hype and when you settle down to watch one 9 times out of ten you feel

disappointed and that the movie has been over-rated!

That's my grumble for this Monday, past 1am here so I am gonna get to

bed and try and get some sleep.

Family & Pets

Added some family & pets pics. The photo with the kids was taken last year

at a Wildlife Centre near Comrie.

Our long-haired OAP 'Dexter', he was fifteen last weekend.

We got both our cats last year from a couple who were emigrating to

New Zealand.

'Cassie' is seven and blind in one eye due to her mom having had

cat flu while she was pregnant with Cassie.

Our dog 'Ranger' we got from the local dog pound six years ago.

No pics of myself at the moment, I hate getting pics taken..........LOL

Sadly 'Dexter' passed away on Friday 13th June. We all miss him terribly,

he was a great character!

'Lewis & Megan'

Made this for Megan's Bebo page.

I feel pretty gutted today, my son and I had a big argument. It is very soul destroying

and depressing living with a child who has ADHD! He has an appointment with his shrink on Friday, he is not much use either. He does not have to live with him on a day to day basis so he doesn't see the real child. It is like living with Jekyl and Hyde at times, his age is not helping matters either. My son is 14 and he has become very bossy and verbally abusive to myself and his little sister. He is confined to his room until further notice, not much use in grounding him as he rarely goes out. Time for a cup of tea and read some mail, perhaps I'll open PSP later. It always make me feel good and I luv to tube and create.

Asmoroth

A Wet & Dismal Sunday!

We all slept late today, another wet and horrible day. Extreme gale force winds are forecast for this evening, I hope they are wrong as we only got the garage roof fixed a fortnight ago due to the gale force winds we have had this winter. The seasons are all changing, we rarely get snow here now in Scotland and when we do it never lasts for long.

The kids have both got bad coughs and my son has exams next week. I hope he is not off with his asthma as these exams are important. My son is 14yrs of age and he wants to be a games designer when he leaves school. He has made brilliant progress at school and I am damn proud of him, my son has ADHD which makes life hard all round. He won an award at school last summer for his acheivements.

Enough rambling for now, I am gonna open Paint Shop Pro and catch up on my mail.

WHOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Done it, took me all damn evening but finally managed to add music to my blog! My first blog so I am kinda blundering around in the dark! Never done anything like this before.

WATCH THIS SPACE folks, more stuff to come.......

Friday 7th March 2008
