Non smoking report

Still going, not one drag in 21 days . That's nearly three weeks to the day.

Cravings are getting less, and less "shall I / sharn't I." But at least once a day I have arguments with myself, the "just one" thoughts. They are the most dangerous, in the past I've given into them.

I've yet to go to a pub and get drunk with smokers. That'll be the hardest.

The Rocket slide in Telford

rocketcage.jpg The Rocket. I've been trying to get them to go on this for a while now, but they always say, "when I'm bigger." Usually it's packed with kids. But yesterday, after school, around 6:30pm it was empty.

I had to go up the first few times and lift Bradly up the very first step. But they soon got the hang of it, and Bradley, in his excitement, while I was off in the roses with Esme having a pee, managed to get up that first step.

[Update:] Bradley's been stopped going down the curly shoot. He's too small, and gets thrown about, coming out head first and upside down, rubbing his head.

Funny poses, seems to be the name of the game these days.

The thing is full of little layers connected by small ladders, too small for me.

Hmmm. As ever Bradley is the first to do down. He's younger and more easily persuaded by Esme. Or, is that manipulated?

It's a big black hole! I get them to scream on the way down, that way I can have an idea where they are.

It's big, very big!

Strange dancing kids

me.jpg Strange dancing kids. I think it was Esme's idea, as usual, to do the silly dancing. We were in the garden part of the Telford Town Park, where the fishes are.

I'd just shot this, when someone called out "did it work?" It was the parkie, about to close up the garden. I thought we had the place to our selves. Felt a bit self conscious taking a pix of me (and strange dancing kids).

School two days a week

Again silly poses. Here's the two outside their day school. Two days a week, but they get a good start to their education.

As soon as Bradley sees me he runs into my arms saying, "I missed you." Heartbreaking! Twice a week every week.
