hi guys ......

Hi guys, hope everyone is OK?

Today is going to be one of those frantic days that Families get once in a while. 

Whilst Liam maybe going to watch (but not play)Football, I’m taking Laura across to Grimsby for her second Archery Competition. Then she has a party, and also we have (possibly) a family friend for tea.

As I type this, the dull, cold, dank dawn of the latest British Dawn is breaking.

The early morning is the only time now that I get use the computer on my own – with no “Dad – can I?”, “Dad – I want to …..”.  I suspect that as the kids get older, this is going to get worse.

At least I'm happy on two points this “fine” morning:

• 1. I get to see the Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix , at least the first part, live, and once again, in peace and quiet – and
• 2. My own personal wait is over. When I came in from work yesterday, a letter on the mantelpiece gave my the news i had been waiting for. I now have an appointment to go into hospital to have the operation done on my elbow.

Is this going to be the start of the end of my problems. Or is it just the end of the start?

I have to admit – I’m now starting to be a little bit nervous
