A grand day in.....

Somewhat unusual day today as we were visited by 3 babies, 2 of them twins. All of them born within 2 days of each other. A lovely time was had, oh the parents were OK too.

Management found last week hard work. Well actually I think she can have a new name - Student. Now of course since I was a staff tutor on the course she is currently studying that would make me her....

I didn't actually finish telling her all that she gave me one of her special looks. So I remembered about discretion.

She is quite quiet at the moment, she has been told that as part of a degree to be a Social Worker these days you need to have a European Computer Driving Licence. Interestingly you can only do this on the software of the all pervasive Mr Gates and those like me who use Mozilla need not even apply.

So anyway she is on the computer logged into the university system trying to access the area for the ECDL and she is struggling to open the portal and she seems to be swearing at the computer a lot - could be an interesting time to come.

No scrub that - she has had enough, she is watching Wallander on IPlayer.

It's a funny thing you know, the building work has meant we took down the TV aerial, no TV.

Now, OK you can watch TV these days via broadband but the TV downstairs is currently running an Xbox and playing the odd DVD. Telly there is none and the kids do not seem that bothered.

It was definitely a Grand Day.

The journey home was good too- pity the Carpenter and the Oily One had the house in a most unwelcoming mess- worse than usual
