WHAT !



Max has started saying WHAT at every moment he can now and we know we shouldn't so we are trying hard not to laugh because he does it just to wind us up ! He knows it gets us so he keeps saying it even though he has heard us.

It's our own fault for laughing so much the first time he said it. Even worse I know but every time he says it I keep thinking of Pulp Fiction.

Just say WHAT one more time.......... It is on youtube and here is the link you have to get through to about 04.40 before you get to the scene but it's such a class film enjoy the first 4 mins !

Coffee

P1040268Francis Francis

I have bought a new Francis Francis coffee machine and it is great. I have been using it with lots of different coffees and have managed to get a good crema almost every time. Went down to Whittards and bought this really special coffee called Blue Mountain Jamaica and it is 5 times more expensive then all the other coffees and it is good. Not sure it is really worth £11 for 125grams when the other coffee is about £2 but it is less "harsh" and really suits a Latte.

There is quite a lot to making a coffee when you start reading the internet for the best way to make coffee. Now to find out what stretching the milk means and if you should or shouldn't use flavoured syrups.

Here is a picture of Max with Skye.

Moses

borrowed from Jesuswalk.com

All hail a new king is born at Selhurst and his name is Victor Moses. A while ago I blogged about Bostock making his debut for Palace and said something along the lines of yeah he is good but it's Moses you need to watch out for....

Today I finally got my first "live" viewing of the young prodigy. I was taken back just how good he looked and how good he is going to be, he glides with the ball and does some stuff where he is away from the ball but the ball is under total control, it is a strange thing to see that this young 17 year old just shift his body and the ball seems to be gone but then it is back again under his feet. Incredible.

The only part of his game I dont like and I'm sure Warnock will beat it out of him is that he goes down like he has been shot. I'm sure it is hard for a 17 year old to keep getting hit by tackles but he does seem to go down a tad easy but then he still needs to toughen up. His game is missing a bit of speed and determination but he is young and the good times are coming.

Yes I finally got to my first game since New years day and it was great to be back :-) I got some stick from the gents around me but not too much. The only problem I had was that I drove so that I could leave a bit earlier to give a hand with bathtime and I would not of been able to get back fast enough on the trains. It took 1 1/2 hours there and the same back with clear traffic so a bit quicker then the trains but as I say it was clear on the roads. From Berko I ended up going right round the M25 and up A3 to miss the traffic going through London and it seemed OK. Was strange going that way as it was the way I used to drive (up A3) until I moved to London. Things dont 'alf change and it seemed like a different route. The TomTom kept trying to send me different ways but I stuck with the route that I learnt as a lad and sometimes I wonder why I took the TomTom but the speed camera warnings were good. Next time though I will try the way it says once I leave the A3 at Raynes Park.

Oh and I missed the winning goal by Prince Harry AKA Watson as I left at 4.25 and he scored as I turned the radio on in the car :-( Still 2-1 to the Palace so happy.

They call me James......

Max and Skye 260208Max and Skye Lilly

My name is James and they all now call me James, Max has started copying everything we say and now calls me James rather then daddy not all the time but quite a bit, See yer James he shouts as I go to work although I do get a daddy on the phone calls and when I get home. It's amazing really how good his speech is. It is so good he has even stared to copy me taking the "mickey" for example, the other day someone who was round asked for a cup of tea so in my best cockney accent I said
"Cup of rosie lee coming up" and lo and behold the boy said it as well with the accent. Brilliant really. Not sure I like it when he hears Faye call me honey and he copies that, it does make me laugh though.

His other favorite word is NO and that gets used a bit more then we would like.

Max and Skye are both doing really well, Skye seems a bit like me....... She is quite grumpy and frowns a lot :-) She is really cute and beautiful with it. Her sleeping is not bad although we have moved her to her own room, bit sooner then most but she is noisy and I snore so it is best for all.
