Toni came over tonight to drop Aaron off for the rest of the week (as Sam had invited him to stay over).
Was lovely to see them both again so soon!
Had a bolognaise for tea and then watched Pirates Of The Caribbean 3 and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Hopefully it won't be too long before we can seriously start thinking about doing things so that we don't have to be apart during the week ;o)

Open up and say AAAARRRGGHHHH!
Poor old Sam had two of his teeth extracted today as part of his ongoing orthodontic treatment. Not nice to have a tooth pulled but two on the same day, OUCH! He seems to have survived it well enough to be able to shout, "If that's dad, tell him to eff off" when I rang Sophie to check that it went OK!
Happy Birthday Gloria
Happy Birthday Gloria,
Hope your day is a good one and isn't too tearful for you.
All our love, Keith, Sophie and Sam

Message From Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth
Thee Temple strives to end personal laziness and to engender discipline. To focus thee Will on one's true desires. In thee belief, gathered from experience, that this maximizes and makes happen all those things that one wants in every area of L-if-E.
Explore daily your deepest desires, fantasies and motives, gradually focusing on what you would LIKE to have happen in a "perfect world", a "perfect situation", taking away ALL restrictions and "practical" considerations. What you would REALLY want.
Then decide to try and do it.
Thee mere visualization of that true goal, your true Will, begins thee PROCESS that makes it happen.
Clean out thee trappings and debris ov compromise, ov what you've been told is reasonable for a person in YOUR circumstances. Be clear in admitting your REAL desires. Discard all irrelevancies. Ask yourself, who you WANT as friends, if you need or WANT to work, what you want to eat, what sexuality you REALLY need to pursue. Check and re-check everything deeper and deeper, more and more precisely to get closer and closer to, and ultimately, integrate with, your real SELF. Your INDIVIDUAL. Once you are truly focused upon your SELF internally, thee external aspects ov your L-if-E will fall into place.
THEY HAVE TO.
Skeptics will say that they simply don't believe this Psychic PROCESS works. But it does.
IT IS THEE KEY TO THEE TEMPLE!

Water balloon fight!
Aaron, Sam and Sophie decided to have a water balloon fight in the garden this afternoon. All I can say is, boys will be boys!
Gardening!
Some bright spark decided that he would get up early today and do some gardening! Got both bits of grass out the front of the house cut and strimmed. Toni and I then did a mega blitz on the jungle that is the back garden and it is looking very nice now. Still more to do but we made an excellent start!

Stir fry
We had a lovely stir fry for dinner tonight, and Sophie had a jacket potato as she doesn't like Chinese food. We watched some of Kill Bill Vol 1 before retiring to bed early as we were knackered (probably the marathon Monopoly session couple with too much dancing last night)
Monopoly
Promised Sam that we would play some family games this weekend and he opted for Monopoly. It was a bit of a marathon session with the game lasting over 3 hours. Aaron went bankrupt and Toni and I both conceded as Sam was cleaning up so he won by default (and we also realised why they are called board "bored" games as this one went on FAR too long)
Kamikaze Sam
For some reason Sam decided to dress as a kamikaze pilot today........or is he a school boy........oh I don't know, perhaps its ninja stylee LOL
The tie (with knots) was used in a game of "whip me, beat me" with Aaron last night versus a tea towel!

Arizona at The Lodge
Toni, Sam, Aaron and I went to The Lodge to see Arizona play tonight. Was lovely to see Tracy and Bev again (and great that they got to meet Toni).
The band were cooking as usual, great entertainment and the usual catalogue of great tunes.
Sam and Aaron en route (looking like a couple of dogs!):
Moody git:
The band:
No pictures:
Baggy Trousers (or just plan Madness)
The gang's all here:

Ooooops...
.... looks like I have upset Kat!
Was supposed to be forming a "function band" with her and we had a rehearsal scheduled for tomorrow with a drummer and guitarist. After much soul searching this week (and probably aided by the fact that I have my home recording studio working now) I realised that the function band thing is not really where I want to be musically at this moment in time.
Decision was only really made today and Hazel said that I needed to tell Kat sooner rather than later so I did. Seems Kat now has the serious hump and isn't talking to me anymore! I did point out that there was no reason why she couldn't still go ahead and rehearse tomorrow with the guitarist and drummer as they can still carry on and do the band without me but she never replied.
I didn't want to upset but had to be honest as well, I didn't want to commit to something that I didn't personally believe in doing so bailed out before it was too late. Will be a real shame if she stops talking to me altogether but in the end it's her loss and not mine although I wouldn't like our friendship to end on a sour note.

Shhhhh, musician at work!
YAY!
I have finally got part of my home recording studio up and running and have started laying down the first parts of one of my songs. It feels so good to be able to final record it all at home and I can't wait to finish a song!
Happy days!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Grrrrrrrr. Bloody jumpers!
Just got a text from Mike Babb saying the trains are shot to shit due to a fatality at Harold Wood. Went to catch the usual 07:58 train but it was cancelled and the next one is not until 08:40 and will only be four carriages, oh joy! On the plus side if I actually get on it I'll be straight to Shenfield rather than having to change at Wickford. Such a pain in the bum, if you want to check out early please find somewhere to do it that doesn't have an effect on everyone else!

Midweek visits!
I love midweek visits!
Toni came over after work today which was nice. Lots of chatting between all of us and then Sam went and put his foot in it and upset Toni. Think they sorted it all out but it was pretty unpleasant at the time.
After that we sat down for bolognaise and watched Kids In The Hall. Then we indulged in ice cream straight from the tubs YAY!
Toni and I both managed to fall asleep during Big Brother and so it was an early night for us when the kids woke us up!

Talk Dirty To Me
You know I never
I never seen you look so good
You never act the way you should
But I like it
And I know you like it too
The way that I want you
I gotta have you
Oh yes, I do
You know I never
I never ever stay out late
You know that I can hardly wait
Just to see you
And I know you cannot wait
Wait to see me too
I gotta touch you
Cause baby well be
At the drive-in
In the old mans ford
Behind the bushes
Till Im screamin for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
You know I call you
I call you on the telephone
Im only hoping that youre home
So I can hear you
When you say those words to me
And whisper so softly
I gotta hear you
Cause baby well be
At the drive-in
In the old mans ford
Behind the bushes
Till Im screamin for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me
C.C. pick up that guitar and talk to me
Cause baby well be
At the drive-in
In the old mans ford
Behind the bushes
Till Im screamin for more
Down the basement
Lock the cellar door
And baby
Talk dirty to me

Traci Michaelz Memorial Show
Sometimes I really wish I lived in Hollyweird. Would have loved to be able to attend this event. Nice to see another rock legend being given a great send off:
Might have to purchase one of these instead:
