Mellow Monkey

Quiet day today with the Lady Of The House (LOTH) and the Girl Of The House (GOTH) out. One with boyfriend, one on business in Penzance. Of course it is the LOTH away on business.
Monkey and me and Boy Of The House Tom have spent a day chillin'. Tom with friends and some new games on his X-Box, Monkey - sleeping mostly - and a couple of calm walks.
Me, Soccer AM then following the footy on Sky.
Got myself a new copy of Greyhounds for Dummies - just to refresh my memory - and find myself torn between advice in the book and what has worked for us before. Will try some of the book's recommendations but mainly will go on gut instincts and what the LOTH feels to be right for us.
Sadly the netbook I usually post on is away with the LOTH so I'm having to use the main computer in what serves as an office upstairs. At least this machine doesn't freeze up every few minutes and I feel more in control of the post.
Hoping for another quiet day tomorrow with more chillin' with my boys and some good food and the Chelsea FA Cup semi-final - must keep calm for Monkey. Had a lovely text from a friend asking when they could come over and meet Monkey which I'm sure will make for an interesting day soon.

Happy Birthday dear BOTH

The Boy Of The House became a teenager this weekend.

Apparently this means there is a danger that he may start staring at us and saying "Whatever!" and grunting a bit.

Personally, I don't believe it. He's far too smiley and nice.

He is now very grown-up though and has joined me on Facebook and got his own email address for the first time.

Last night he had a big birthday cake and three of his really nice friends stayed over. Wil and Dom and Shaun are lovely and were very kind to me.

Happy Birthday BOTH.

I Love You!!
