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 great life he's destined to have. 

So for me, that's it. All my Children have their Children to take forward in life. I love watching it happen, not living close by anymore means you don't see it all, that's a good thing (I tell myself) as we'll not be driving them crazy with our old fashioned ways (mine at least). Modern parenting is very different, lots make it harder in my opinion but apparently that's better. On a slight downer the baby sitting pool is smaller, although there's no shortage of them in their family. For us the time we do get to spend we appreciate more. We had Ruben's cousins with us the weekend and it was fab. Now with three little boys and one bigger girl to keep em in line I think we have it sorted in the Grand Child department.

So at that ..

We lost Zac (aka White Dog) this week, he went downhill so fast with issues with his eyes. He was a very happy dog and although his last couple of weeks were difficult he didn't suffer.  He's been a great friend to us all in the family and he'll be sadly missed. More so by Michelle, he was her shadow, always there wherever she went, if she wasn't there he'd do his best to get in your way protesting the fact she was missing. She loved him so much and she told me yesterday he loved her more, I find this hard to believe seeing the devastation his loss has brought to her. I was with him when he went to sleep, it was very peaceful, and in his last moments, he had comfort from one of his Hoomans.  Losing a pet is difficult, You'd think it's just a dog but they're so much more, so much, especially when you have a hole in your life once they're gone. He'd been with us years, fourteen years! was always there to say hello when you got home, even if you'

Kiosk Number 6 - Project Begins

The drawings are nearly ready and the first lengths of timber arrived today, I can begin measuring out and build the base for the phone box this week. The base will allow me to bottom out all my dimensions for the drawings. The remaining wood comes next week and I have some time booked off work to have fun building. I'll resurrect my dads old wood plane, not been used in 25 years or more.  The drawings using MS Visio and actual measurements from my pals real phone box are looking pretty good. The replica I'm building should look like the real thing, however, some of the wall thicknesses will be less. We'll have to see how it turns out. I'm still thinking on the window methods, do I do individual windows or one pane covered by the framework. We shall see.

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
