Now jamie is sick, and although most of the time i think he is a hypochondriac he looks like he has been run over by a train so he really is sick. But not me, I have SUPER IMMUNITY when it comes to viruses, it's the colds that get me.
Usually i am quite good at taking care of Jamie but I just couldn't be bothered so i just let him sleep in bed and bought him some paracetamol when I heard a groan.
it's a dog eat dog world in our house when you are on your sick you are on your own. unless you are mackay then you get the gold star treatment.

Which are you?
So i have two types of friends, the type that will think this is awesome (I suspect Ida and my sister) and the type that think I am weird for thinking this is awesome (Jamie definitely thinks i am weird)
So anyway my friend Emily's friend Siobhan told her about the most awesome iphone app called Grindr. Let me paint you a picture, you are a gay, bi or curious man out on the town and have a need for a little ahem, action, you can't be bothered going to a club and picking someone up, so what do you do? You logon to the iphone app Grindr which will use your location to tell you where are other gay, bi or curious guys in your neighbourhood looking to hook up. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, it sends you a picture of your intended hook up. It's gay cruising for the 21st century! It ends the need to hide behind bushes in the park (George Michael will be disappointed) this is definitely what Steve Jobs (RIP) thought the iphone should be used for when he invented it.
So do you think this is awesome? opinions please
xxxx
p.s in case you are wondering whether I have downloaded it or not, I am working on it

so this week
Mackay is sick with a fever and other related childhood illnesses so we are house bound for a little while. Jamie has been kicked out of our bed and Mackay has moved in. Hopefully just for one night, poor little guy is not well so he needs his Mummy close. Also he just did a massive liquid poo in the bath. I sometimes wonder if in 20 years Mackay will be reading this and get embarrassed. But really, I'm sure we've all pooed in the bath at one time or another. I definitely have, but that's a story for another time.
Also i have deleted my Facebook account, so if you try to stalk me on Facebook and you can't find me i have def-riended you i have just severed my ties with social networking. I can't be bothered with it anymore and I'm on it way too much so I have removed the temptation. But this has a double bonus that now you will have to check here more often as there won't be any pictures of Mackay on Facebook and you won't get any information from my life from my status updates.
Also my swimming coach (the spanish James Franco) has quit as our swimming instructor I think we were to much of a hopeless cause. Anyway we haven't got a new coach yet and so my progress has been somewhat limited. As in I am making none. So my friend Aaron has kindly agreed to help me with the finer points of swimming (e.g. the basics) as all i know how to do is to blow out underwater and I thought once I mastered that the rest would come kind of naturally, well it hasn't so i need more one on
one tuition.
Lastly the pub up the road has a curry and Karaoke night which they call 'Wednesday Curryaoke' Every time I walk past the sign I laugh.

Call me crazy
There is a kebab shop up the road, which i pass at least once a day. Anyway they have pictures outside of the delicious food they serve, when I say delicious I really mean disgusting. Anyway for example chicken, chips and drink £4.50.
But the picture I most like is titled meat, rice and drink £3.00. Now call me fussy but I would like to know what type of meat I am buying before I hand over my money, even if it is only £3.00. Who buys a mystery meat for £3.00? Answer, a very drunk person.

About my head
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.
