Happy Day to The Sperm Spouters!

For Fathers Day we invaded the kitchen of the Dad and made him breakfast in bed - I think this is becoming a new tradition for Mothers & Fathers day .. we did it for him for Fathers Day last year and they did it for me for Mothers Day this year. It's special - neither of us having a partner, and teenagers who usually get up well after us means breakfast in bed is definately a thing of the past; so it's a real treat :)

We left him in bed muching on toast and bacon (which he hardly ever buys), wrapped up in his teams' colours with the newspaper and a good book to read.

Thunderbolts' New Trials
Thunderbolt bought himself a guitar yesterday! He's never shown much interest in music, doesn't even play CD's very often (about once in 3 months he might play one). He had asked for one as a Christmas prezzie but no one got him one.

I hope he persists (persistance not being one of his strong points) ... in one day he can play Skip to My Lou. I can't believe they still have those kinds of songs in learners books - most of the kids wouldn't even know that song! Surely there are more contemporary songs they could use.

It reminded me that I have a guitar out there ... somewhere. Lent it to a 'friend' many moons ago and now have no idea where they are. I don't know that I would play if I had it here, but it was given to me by my dad (RIP) - had been damaged in a removal and he had to araldite the head back on, but it had a great sound.

Note to self: must stock up on bandaids for sore fingers!

Feeling Old
I feel really buggered tonight ... not that I've been overly energetic, but two 1am bed-times and having to get up at a reasonable hour have taken their toll methinks.

So I'm going to go lay on the couch, switch the box on and read one of the two books I'm slowly making my way through. The feeling of wanting to read hasn't returned, but it's something to do that doesn't take much energy, and Harry Potter doesn't need much brain activity either (don't know whether that will be true of the Da Vinci code yet).
