If you’re a king & you & your countrymen pay Queen’s University enough money they’ll give you an “honourary” degree.
Pathetic really.

Just a little corner of wall left after the paint ran out… but it needs a quick extra roller coat anyway, so we’re off to buy some more paint later. But Steve was surprised and happy with what we did (although he did come home too early, as we were by no means finished… haha).
But talk about swimming… here’s Sam with his first ‘diploma’. He got it last week, and the picture was taking with my phone camera in a very moist swimming pool. Not good quality, but oh boy, was he proud! The teacher, Barbara, had decorated the pool with flags and bears, which was super nice. And the ice cream as an extra reward was very yummy! Sam can dive off the side in the water (with his hands up next to his head, so cute), can walk up to the point where his nose goes under (up to there is no problem, he knows how to close his mouth under water), and swims under water to pick something up. Cute boy…

Saturday:
‘Hi babes. How’s England? Not too much snow?’
‘Nah, it’s fine. Only had a bit of delay in London, but I’m in Brighton now and everything’s fine.’
‘Did you have a good trip?’
‘Yes, it was super. Did you do anything nice today?’
‘Ah, just the shopping, and then took the kids through the car wash. Always a hoot.’
‘Yeah, they love that, don’t they? Are you taking it nice and easy then?’
‘Of course, sitting on the sofa knitting as we speak.’

Sunday:
‘Hi gorgeous! How’s you? Any fun in Brighton?’
‘Super, we took a stroll along the seaside and then had a pint.’
‘Cool. We went over to the new neighbours to cuddle the new baby. Sooo cute!’
‘Not doing anything too strenuous? You promised to take it easy.’
‘Don’t be a fool, I’m on the sofa knitting, watching the kids make a mess. We went to the pool for a splash and are having pancakes.’
‘Any plans for tonight?’
‘Nah, more knitting and some telly I think…’
‘Good plan. Take it easy, yeah?’
‘Night night, good luck on the train tomorrow and gives us a call whenever you’re nearly home so we can pick you up! Love you!’
‘Love you, talk to you tomorrow!’

Right, back to painting…
