Rain rain go away...

It's been quite rainy and relatively cold for this time of year, therefore no piccies to post.

In other news;

There is no other news!

Have a lovely day!

Busy, busy day!

Not only did we all enjoy a fantastic (although DAMP) day at Pleasurewood Hills...

Kai played in her first concert with Martlesham Brass Band!

Kai is 7 ! ! !

Just DO NOT inhale.

I had to doctor this pic as there was a nice, thick stream of spit reaching from Jacks gob to the dandylion.

Local boy, 4, regales family with tales of zombies in nearby woods. Listeners mesmerised.

"They tried to get me but I kicked them and they died and their blood came out! Mormor pay attention!"

Woodbridge 10K Run

The Woodbridge 10K Run brought Woodbridgefolk to the streets to watch these dedicated athletes own the undulating streets of our fair town!

Smiley kids!

Sleeping in drawers? That is SOOO Tokyo!

Bedtime comes and I get the kids washed, brushed and off to bed.

Hannah comes home from work and goes to kiss the kids goodnight.

"Where's Jack?", she calls down to me.

"He's either gone to rob the liquor store or he's asleep in his bedroom!" I reply while thinking to myself "Where the hell else does she think he is!"

Well, after about 7 minutes of looking around a tiny bedroom for one of two children we figure that Jack had to climb in and Kai had to close the drawer...This is where Hannah found Jack sound asleep.

Green thumbs and all that.

Mowed the grass today. Also trimmed back some big/long stemmed plans that has yellow flowers similar in size, colour and shape to those that Hindus are sometimes seen throwing into The Ganges or at parades/processions in documentaries on India - Land of mysteries and the like.

The flowers at right are the neighbours. I'll ask her if she minds if I take a pic of her garden to post here. She's got a classic English gottage garden. Very nice!

UPDATE: Oh what a beautiful day!

Well, I was close!

Oh what a beautiful day!

It really is; 75f, sunny, 8-13mph breeze, birds and bees displaying an unnatural and freightening attraction towards each other and a fine layer of pollen from the yellow Oil Seed Rape* plant adorns the car. I wonder if we can get enough yellow pollen on a blue car to turn the vehicle green?

*Oil Seed Rape is a cash crop across large swathes of this great and mighty land.

The clouds parted...

...and we went to Elmhurst Park!

If this rain does not end; I shall find a rifle and a bell tower and...

Sunday 7 May 06

Absolutely miserable day.

Rainy/heavy mist.

Not warm but not cold.

Looks to be more of the same for Monday.

"Double Patience" aka "Future Present"

How can I bring comment to this image which makes countless statements on its own! Breathtaking!

A clean mota, is a 'appy mota!

Hannah, putting a scrub on the car.

Rincey rincey.

Kids, lovin' it.

Ow, gawd thats heavy.

We went to Audreys to help out with a few jobs in her garden. Of the more common jobs in Audreys garden are the moving of two of the heaviest pieces of garden furniture in the known universe. A grey concrete birdbath as seen in the upper right corner of the pic above, with the other item being the dark ex-water fountain which has a new life as a raised planter (seen next to Kai, below).

Through a hole in our neighbours fence.

Buzz buzz!

These guys, Apache "Longbow" helicopters from RAF Wattisham which lies about 15miles to our east, are becoming a more frequent sight and sound in the skies over Woodbridge.

Also whizzing about is the yellow Search And Rescue "Sea King" helicopter also out of RAF Wattisham.
