Sick but only for two days

With Mommy down in London I finished work and got to cooking tea which was steak and baked potatoes so I needed to get the taters in the oven allowing me to do some tidying before getting the steaks on. An hour or so later I shouted both Reagan and Lincoln to come and not […]

It’s all about the mind

Reagan felt ill again today and decided she was too ill to go to school and phoned her Mom who was on a train to London because I wasn’t sympathetic enough when I rang her from the traffic jam I was stuck in? We’d overslept I say “we” I mean Jamie had and it meant […]

I’ll tumble for you

As mornings go it was up and very much down, Mommy had been up with Reagan who had a temperature and needed medicating to get back to sleep so Mommy went up to check on her, first thing and decided to keep her off school for the day. While up there she collected all the […]

Fancy new lock

I needed to keep my new shut when I am inside so I made a lovely new locking mechanism as a temporary solution until the door is finished That should keep them out……I mean secure it while I work!

The door

My goal this weekend is to get my door to the point where I can think about hanging it. Today I glued and screwed the tongue and groove skin to the frame ready for the flange frame to be fitted tomorrow possibly but I can see that the 15mm thick wood I bought needs to […]

Toothache

Reagan was referred a few weeks ago by the orthodontice to have 4 teeth extracted 3 bad ones and a good one to keep things even and to make room for braces to straiten the rest of them but over the last couple of days she has complained about pain from the top left one. […]

Locked out?

Yesterday I think we all were still feeling a bit tired from the weekend but this morning Mommy was up and at ’em at the gym before the sun came up. I wasn’t so alert as I made my way to the bathroom, before 6am as usual for a wee still half asleep without putting […]
