Busy

It’s been a while but I’ve been rushed. Went to Disneyland Paris with the kids and my ex last week for a few days which was hilarious. It quickly became about me rather than the kids. I met the main man above and could obnly say, “I love you”. Danny gave me kudos for this saying that I was the only Dad that got his pic taken with his new friends. Damn straight.

Various rides taken, many queues stood in but altogether a fantastic time. I hate the feckin dumbo ride that said 30 min wait but actually was 1hr 15min. And the kids loved it. Whatever. Pics on my Flickr.

Got back to Glasgow and went to see the Hold Steady at the Cathouse. Went with Sean, Sally and Sam. Way, way too many ’s’s to deal with and some considered it the worst Valemtines evah. I rocked out anyway. Which was odd. Then Bier Halle for poshness.

Friday and Gareth, Julia, Sam and I went to some fantastic Morrocan restaurant. Awwwwww. Then to Steph’s (not the Steph, another Steph) leaving party. I had never met her before but I think I left an impression.

Saturday was cool, watched a week’s worth of TV inc the brilliant Life on Mars. Happy that’s back.

Sunday went for sushi then cooked a fucking incredible carbonara that went down very well. I was like a real world fucking tv chef!

Today Sam and I went to see Hot Fuzz which is just so, so, so, so much fun. I implore you all to see it, it’s hilarious. Timothy Dalton is amazing and the action sequences… well. Kick arse. This shit got real. See it.

Then we went for the noodles, Sam went home (rubbish) and I met up with the lovely Neil McKinven for a quick chat then I headed home.

We also launched a website today. Sexual health website no less. With Miss Hoolie doing the voice over for the books. I was sick in Miss Hoolie’s bath once after drinking the classic combo of Blue label vodka and pineapple juice. Swish!

Since Saturday I have left in taxis my wallet, camera and ipod. I have also got them back. That luck will run out soon enough…

Boy, Stewart, you are one wallet-losing person. Glad you got all back.

Great pics! I loved them. Not sure whose butt that was but it made me remember my fave Gahan Wilson poem:

There are too many kids in this tub
There are too many elbows to scrub
I just washed a behind
That I’m sure wasn’t mine
There are too many kids in this tub

Love the Disney ones, they made me recall taking our son to Disney World in Orlando. Three days. Between running all over the place and standing in lines, we left exhausted. But all good.

The animatronic croc(?) brought to mind an actual experience I had at the Okeefenokee Wildlife refuge. Note the use of words “wildlife refuge”. Where I was asked very sincerely, “Which alligators are animatronic?” Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere’s your sign.

Hope you had a nice heart day.

Hang chilly,

Nice pics, your kids are precious. Nothing cuter than a little one asleep in the back seat.

oh, I love the shot of Kelvingrove Museum further on in your flikr pages. Last time I was In Glasgow (last 2 times actually) it was closed for renovation. Haven’t been there since I was a kid and probably won’t get back until my kids are at least three. Thanks for a lovely picture and a memory.

Wow this post will keep me busy for some time I think! Especially all the photos - your boys are gorgeous - love the “sleeping” pic.

I’ll be interested to see Hot Fuzz if it comes out to Oz, I enjoyed Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead - lots of fun. I didn’t watch the WHOLE trailer as it would probably give away too many jokes.

Take care!

PS I see you have not freed yourself from the habit of losing wallets etc in the back of taxis!

What’s a carbonara? The pics are fantastic, you have such handsome little lads with so much expression! Glad you have been busy having a fun time and glad you got your lost items back, very lucky there. I’m a big fan of Tigger too. -K x

So glad that you got your lost things back!!
Loved seeing the pics of your holiday…the boys are so cute! : ) Cherish these moments…soon they will be growing fuzzy things on their upper lip and the little boys voices and giggles will change to deeper tones and sounds that will make you think there is a football team visiting! : ) But then there is the fun of capturing them sleeping with their mouths open! LOL!

Thanks for sharing Stewart! My belief is children + chocolate pudding = a perfect photo opportunity…always…never an exception. :). Glad you go all your stuff back! That was three things so it won’t happen again. Things come in three’s right? Glad you had a great time! ~Cheers!

Love Tigger and Disneyland (my husband proposed to me there) and Walt Disney World. I hope to visit Disneyland Paris one day.
Glad you had a wonderful day with your kids.

Peace
