forgot to say when i went for my swimming lesson i put on my swimming cap and it snapped. I tried to tie it on the side but it look ridiculous so I had my first swimming lesson with my hair in my eyes.
I came home and told jamie that my swimming cap had broken because it was old and the chlorine had made it distintergrate. He looked at me with pity and said 'It's nothing to do with your massive head then?'
cheeky bugger.

R.I.P Pop
We got some sad news on holiday our much loved Pop died suddenly from a stroke. He was a good friend to Jamie and I.
He was a surprising guy Frank, as soon as you thought you knew him he would pull a story out of his hat about a person, place or something he had done that you never knew before. He saw a lot in his life and made some great achievements of which I think his children, grandchildren and great grand children were one. I saw him treat everyone with respect, even when they sometimes didn't deserve it and he had a quiet wisdom that comes with age and making a few mistakes.
As soon as i met him I felt like he was my grandfather and we loved him so much we gave Mackay his name because we wanted to honour him and now every time I say 'Mackay Frank', which I say a lot because I like to use his middle name for discipline related issues, it makes me a little bit sad but hopefully one day the sadness will go to be replaced with happiness. But for now we miss you pop and I wish I had the chance for one last conversation.
