Awww, I was only joking, it's lovely to see him [i]sooooo[/i] excited :wub:

I have been giggling away something stupid. Pete stood up and insisted that the dogs sit down in front of him and listen to a Very Serious Lecture about the perils of daring to put doggy slobber on his new toy.

Inca: sits nicely, very attentive, tail wagging furiously 'ooh if I sit and listen to Daddy I'm bound to get a biscuit afterwards' :huh:

Magpie: wtf? this is sooo boring *yawns and wanders off mid-lecture* :)

Pete has the most disconcerting habit of occasionally leaping out of bed and scaring the living daylights out of me :huh:

Cue one such incident, followed by lots of fumbling about in the dark :)

Me: What are you doing?

Him: I can't find it

Me: Can't find what?

Him: [i]It[/i]

Me: The door's in front of you darling

Him: No, not the door

Me: Well what then?

Him: [i]The thing[/i]

Me: What thing?

Him: The thing to close the door

Me: Why do you want to close the door?

Him: Because it's time to get up

Me: No it isn't

Him: Yes it is. It's time for me to get up. I'll come and wake you up in a bit (he is getting rather annoyed with me by this point)

Me: Come back to bed darling

Him: Oh, OK.

This was at 11.30 [i]last night[/i] and he'd only been asleep for an hour. Daft sod was fast asleep throughout the entire episode. :huh:

Bless him. :wub: :huh:

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Unfortunately, due to the lateness of my return home and the fact that it's too bloody dark to take any, there will be no artistic stylee photos today.
However, I have a picture of the maestro himself stood next to some be-spectacled fat bloke, holding a work of art.

More pics tomorrow.

Pete

Jon says more than 12, less than 20. I'm taking the minimum to be 20 though. That way I'll hopefully be surprised rather than disappointed!

Ha ha yeah I suggested he started giving longer build times as delivering at 20 weeks if brilliant if you said 25 weeks to start with but terrible if you said 15 weeks ....

Thought it cost an arm and a leg rather than two arms :)[/quote]
I see my new sig is going to cause problems. :huh:

If you remember my old sig where I was talking about chewing my arms off for 14 weeks - it's a reference to that and the fact that I have no arms left after 23 weeks. :huh:
