I don't think I've mentioned it here before, but our grandson Adam is quite tall now and he's only 13... 14 next month. I think he's 6 ft 3. Quite tall for anyone, but at 13?? He really had a growth spurt over the past few years. Maybe he'll stop growing, maybe he has a little more to go.

Adam has played football (soccer) since he's been very young ( Read more... )

I use an app on my phone to post. It doesn't work well. Consequently I am hesitant to post.

But I do want to mention one more thing: I'll be watching the Euros Football final tonight... Spain vs. England. Of course, being from Scotland, we'll be cheering for Espana.

I really need to get this app fixed somehow. Whenever I write more than a few ( Read more... )

Adam came home last night with two football trophies.... Most Improved Player and Best Goal.

Wow... Substantial trophies. Very proud of him.

We're all sick and injured lately... I now have a cold or virus of some sort. Previously, it was my eye injured, then Linda had her eye surgery too. Also she injured herself in the bathtub fall. Adam is on crutches due to a football injury. Andy was at the hospital yesterday getting something checked... one thing after the other.

We have five TVs now in five different rooms, which I think is a bit excessive, but whatever.

The main reason for ( Read more... )

Adam has been painting Jenny's old bedroom... with our help as labourers, but he's supervising. We did the ceiling's final coat tonight, and the first coat of the walls.... "walnut" colour.

The walls used to be purple, so we needed to do a base coat of white the other day.

Tomorrow, I think we plan to do the final coat for the walls.

It's going to be ( Read more... )

It's Linda's birthday today. She has turned 69 years young.

We went over to Jenny's to give presents... Had croissants... and now Jenny and her are away at a knitting class.

I'm with Ayla and Amelie. We played outside a bit and are now watching YouTube.

Adam and Andy are away at football at the moment.

Just relaxing now...

Fantasy Football (soccer) has been a bit of a disaster for me this year. My place in the league table is 40 out of 45 players. Not too good, really.

Actually worse today and am off work... which was a training day in Workington. Not sure going to work tomorrow is on the cards because I am, as I said, even worse today.

I tested for Covid, and it still came up negative.

Sitting here watching Pele's funeral procession. It's in Sky News and they are really lingering on it as if it was the Queen's ( Read more... )
