All week, TheO has continued to flex his memory skills. 'Mum" is coming over to visit, and an excitable young man can't wait. 'Mums coming, Mums coming' he tells everyone. They share confused glances with the good lady! I have managed to secure an elegant 'farmhouse' residence in Gozo for the week where we can all have an undeserved break. TheO will be kept busy with the pool whilst the grown ups unwind. This is not a good time for the September rains to arrive however! Fingers crossed.

As summer school is long gone and normal school is not starting till October, the little lad has been sharing a Nanny with a good friend. It has given the good lady some time to write, possibly to her solicitor, and TheO some great adventures. The boredom can be particularly painful! After all, they do say 'the devil makes work for idle hands!'

The little lad is still obsessed with Ben Tennyson and his Omnitrix, which seems to be waterproof, luckily! He will not forget his (lost) Pete Pan sword and has now adopted a piece of wood which bears a similar shape. More plasters I fear. Still watching Kung Fu Panda and showing little interest in Winnie The Poo! Also singing the opening bars of Mamma Mia by Abba, although of course I don't have a copy of it!



TheO demands I strap on the Omnitrix!
