Halloween 2008

-
Halloween was great this year. We get lots of kiddies knocking the door trick or treating. This year I thought why not join in. I opened the door quite slow and then did the jumping out Boo! thing. Some jumped out their skin, some just trick or treated but one little one ran off crying to her Dad. I had to give her more sweets than the others.
Halloween is about the eve of all Saints day apparently where spirits run around taunting the living... Taunting the living sounds good fun so why not have a go. It's too much fun; chance to hide behind your mask and play kids games. I gave out about 3kilos of sweets. No one wanted to trick me and no one wanted to be tricked. I offered a drink of blood as a treat but no-one wanted it.... Can't think why.....

So, playing catch up on the blog, a few more to follow over the coming days!

Grandson Number 3.

Welcome to the world Ruben Hemingway Bullock. Born 29th July 2024, he's doing well and Mum and Dad are happy for their new arrival. Ruben is my fourth Grand Child and the son of my youngest, they grow up fast these kids do. They're leaving home and setting up by themselves in no time.  Lots of happiness ahead, you really do forget about the sleepless nights, 1:00a.m feed me calls and walks with the pushchair in the night to get them off to sleep. It's what it's all about. So I wonder what plans there are for Ruben, the world he's come into is changing, not always for the better in my opinion, but we have to embrace change and make them positive making the best of what we have. AI around the corner, I'm looking forward to having a robot around the house. Ruben will know no different, technology will be front and centre.  He's lucky to have some clever people around him to help him along the way. His uncles, aunts, grand parents and of course his parents. What...

A trip for work.

I thought I'd make an entry for my Blog today, doing it in multiple bits. Early start, up at five making my way over to the ferry. Travelling up to Reading today to see Richard for work. Bought myself a new multi save ticket which means that I don't have to pay the extortionate levels of price the ferries can charge. That's highly recommended if you live on the Island. Arrived in Portsmouth and the sun was blazing. For a travel up to Reading let's see what the traffic is like. I imagine it's pretty busy, yes it was pretty busy. On the way back down it wasn't too bad, lots of folks around for the D Day commemoration at South Sea, lots of boats out here too. Had a good stop off after work seeing my Grand Babies, Daughter in Law, and Son number 1 in Thatcham. Hannah made the tea and I got to cuddle. Top ending to a pretty good day. On the boat at the moment writing this. Waiting to set off for the Island. It's a happy boat. They always are on the way to ...

This will work

An idea I've been thinking over for some time. My work situation at the moment is one of liking what I do, the people I work with and the company I work for. Something is missing though. I moved to Thatcham two years ago this month; 16th February. Since then life has got better, so many things have happened for the better. I have done the things I can afford and have wanted to do. One thing missing though, and that brings me back to my point.... I always seem to digress. I have an idea for a business; a coffee shop. A place for the community to meet. I have this idea of a place with areas all wrapped into one for people of all ages. An Internet and computer area, a soft play area, a chill out area with nice comfy seats all tied together with tables and chairs of different kinds to make you feel 'togetherness' when you're sitting drinking your drink. There is a place in the High Street near me that has the room to do this and is vacant. There are local groups that I...
