Dumplings 'n' Stuff

To be honest guys not a lot to report today. Spent the morning doing lots of fiddly little DIY jobs around the cottage. It being St Valentine's Day my lovely wife gave me a very touching card this morning. Sadly mine for her is at home in the piano stool where I hid it before coming on holiday.

My gorgeous wife then spent 2 hrs sleeping this afternoon after having made a gargantuan lunch replete with dumplings (the lunch that is as well as the wife!).

Taught Carys the addictive Rummikub this afternoon and then we all went for a walk through the woods which surround the cottage called 'Foret de Coatloc'h. Yet another glorious day here - blue skies and sunshine yet again - thankyou Lord!

Planning a night of more games and TV -it's a hard life. Continue to feel really well and still got my barnet. Even managed to put weight on (it's the dumplings!).

Off to Benodet tomorrow to hob nob with the beautiful people. Sign in tomorrow for more thrilling installments!!

To end - small joke from Carys...Why did the chicken cross the park...to get to the other slide!

Never mind Dovid, this one is for you Carys.

"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
" I've just done up"
"I've just done up who?"
" UGH SMELLY"
HA HA, the old ones are the best, and as an old (ish) one, I should know.
Not quite as good as your joke, though Carys, I am going to tell it at church on Sunday.

Glad to hear you and Mum and Dad and James are having such a great time together, and that the weather is really good.
Give Mummy and Daddy a big hug from us in Lidlington, won't you, and tell them that we love them, and are praying for them all the time.
I have told the ponies that you are coming to visit them, and they can't wait to meet you.
Their names are;-
Yogi, he is 21 years old (same age as Mummy)
Ben, he is 16years old (same age as me)
And Diamond, he is about 37 years old (in horsey years that is about 148 years old...same age as Daddy!)

Anyway, continue to enjoy your holiday, and beat Daddy at all the games.

Dave. Sorry and shocked to hear news from J & A the other week that things not as good as previously stated. I'm also sorry its taken so long to log onto this thing but being a Blogspot v*****n (just in case younger children reading) it's took me a while to figure this out...so you may not even see this - or someone if far off lands is thinking who the heck is this Hinklebrain fella?

Glad you're having a good break in France, Janet and I went to that area years ago 9 months before the boys were born. Hence they don't have "Made in the UK" on their bottoms...is this too much detail at this stage?

Anyhow wanted to encourage you re hair falling out, it's never affected my good looks as you know and, as Eric Morecombe used to say."Don't worry about being bald, when it goes at the front it's a sign your a great thinker, when it goes at the back it's the sign you're a great lover. When it goes all over, you just think you're a great lover!".

Anyhow 06.45 - the rest of th household is getting up now soneed to go. Will keep in touch, Steve & Janet.

Stampy, Stampy, Stampy.... do you think in my delicate condition I've even considered any of the unholy un-natural acts you mention? I have taken a vow of chastity and become a Halibut Nunk.
Yet another nasty habit....

Sian - Oh dear, oh dear.

Hinklebrain - hiya mate. Thanks for blogging. Do your boys like garlic? Do they support fine handlebar moustaches? Do they wear stripey jumpers? If you answer at least 2/3 in the affirmative they can have a French passport. They come free with a lifetime supply of attitude, onions and a propensity to strike over anything without warning. Let us know and we'll bribe the local Marie with a pack of Silk Cut and sort out dual nationality quicker than you can say 'Stampy lives in a posh house'.

Good to hear from you..

Thanks for your advice on French Nationality Test. I am plesaed to say that the boys successfullly failed. Janet also advised that I was a month out and they are actually "true red blooded, John Bull, Rule Brittania singing, Englishmen" and not "cheese eating surrender monkeys" (to quote the Simpsons"). Hallelujah.

Joke for your Carys,
Q."What did the fish sya when it swam into a wall?"
A. Dam

Joke for you.
