I am home later today, I have no suntan (apart from my forehead) and that picture was definitely from a time long forgotten...1989, not long after I joined up

.

I am currently sat in Nairobi airport. It is 03:30 local and I have been awake since 06:30 yesterday morning...top quality, military, milling about! But I'm not bitter...I'm on the way home

!

It is always slightly wierd when I get home...there is always a period of adjustment from all of us. I have to get used to living at home and not amongst a group of blokes in 'rustic' accomodation. The children have to get used to the power shift and my missus just has to get used to the lunatic living back at home

Inso · « **Reply #531 on:** April 05, 2011, 08:25:57 PM »

Well...I am back

!

I eventually got into my house at about 16:00hrs today. A hot soak in the tub and a few cups of PG Tips tea and I am as right as rain again

.

I have just spent half an hour or so re-sorting out some Grymn platoons...I now need a few more specialists

...

Yep...plenty to be happy about

Sitting in the garden from 08:15 in the evening, with my five year old daughter, waiting hopefully to see some bats. Then at 8:30 (dusk), to my daughter's delight, three bats fly about for five minutes!

I can only imagine the look on my son's face (he's four and a half) if we could do that...that's very cool.
Few things are as pleasing as the look of unadulterated innocent joy and wonder in a very small child. Before they're old enough to develop the cynical view of the world that we suffer as working stiff adults.

I wonder if trying to recapture that is our reason for having kids?

Incidentally - I am glad to see I am not the only one who uses the word "Pootling".

thadrin... its one of thouse words that seem to sneak into things, it dosnt help that a freind recantly got his phone to have the flumps theme tune as a ring tone.

today a little of my faith in humanity was restored, as the hashtag #donaldtrumpisabellend trended worldwide on Twitter.
a small, but highly amusing, event.

This made me happy.

Things that have made me happy today:
(Much as I hate to say it) the Duchess of Cambridge and her sister looking rather nice.
The Gruffalo
Sally's post.

Ordered the first bits for my new computer last night - and saw a very nice 21 inch monitor which I wasn't going to buy but did as it was a good price............

After sending an email to a company about not recieving my order (not a FOD company) I was offered an extra box of minis for free. 64 huscarls coming my way. Woohoo.

Spending a fantastic day at Holy Island with the new lady in my life and then snuggling up with her to watch tv after being shattered with all the hiking
