It’s not every day that you look out your back window and the red arrows fly past.

it should be noted we live in a terrace house in Liverpool, and our view of the sky is limited, and I swear the red arrows just flew past in formation, smoke coming out the back around 200 yards away from our house! very odd, and no one ever tells you about these things!

despite, someone announcing that they had cancelled the Mathew Street Festival. It is actually going ahead this weekend, Not that we’re much of a music going family, but I do enjoy the names of the bands they have, they are almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea; so this year we have:

Yes - we are slowly turning into hippies

but all is not lost totally, because while I’ve been looking at beaten up 40 year old wrecks on e-Bay - I don’t think I’m the type to as Ruth puts it”get oily at the weekends”. What I really want to know how you import a new one from Mexico.? better still - I want this concept camper van, a snip at $69,000 (?34.500). but it’s a hybrid and it’s got solar panels.

It’s quite touching really; Daisy doesn’t like it when I go to work, and is constantly coming up with reasons why I shouldn’t go. Today we combined this desire for daddy to stay with Daisy’s Economic Theories.

“Daddy, you can’t go to work, you will stay here”

“Then how we will we get money?, Where will our money come from?”

“Money will come from Money factories”

“But how will we get money, If I don’t go to work?”

“The Money lady will give us some”

Anyone got the phone number of the money lady?

thank you everyone for your concerned phone call, when the web site went missing for a few days. It wasn’t anything disastrous, we simply where moving the site to a diffrent company. after the year of grief we had with compila - which was summed up with the fact that the site actually went 8 days over the year and they never bothered to tell me, or ask for money.

It took time because I had to make sure we didn’t loose emails during the move; we now have around 20 odd people with thejumps.co.uk email addresses (do you want one? - email me), and I didn’t want to just turn them all off this coupled with the fact that the site actually moved twice made it take a while.

For those who care about these things: the site is now hosted on easyspace, who are nice an cheep and give us MySQL which we need for the blog. but the domain name is registered with 1 and 1 who are fantastic but more expensive if you want MySQL. we did this because the downside with easyspace is that they charge a ?15 ‘administration fee’ should you choose to move your domain away from them, so having the domain registered with 1and1 (for ?1.99 a year) and just pointing it to easyspace means that if we want to move it we just change settings there and it doesn’t cost us the easyspace fee.

Daisy: “Accrington Stanley”

Me: “Who are they?”

Daisy: “exactly”

Ruth: “that’s very good Daisy,”

Me: “See, I told you mummy would either be very pleased or throw us out of the house”

Daisy: “You can’t throw us out of the house, all the windows are closed”

Henry is 1 (month)

Henry was one month old yesterday, so i thought we should have an update on how he is doing,

HenryAs you may know, Henry sleeps through, and in fact we are now on 3 nights in a row where he’s gone straight down after milk and hasn’t needed any picking up and pacing to settle him down. He’s a super sleeper all round really. He spent most of Sunday a sleep, so much so that the rest of us where climbing the walls at 11am waiting to go out, when he finally got up.

dsc03063.JPGHe does feed pretty much constantly during the evening, which is quite tiring for all involved, although last night he did some sitting (while being held he’s not super baby) and looking around, which in the evening is quite welcome break.

Despite the initial flurry of pictures we probably don’t have as many now as we did of daisy at this stage, but that’s because now we are hippy baby wearers, Henry spends a lot of his time tied to either Ruth’s or my front. It’s a cool way to carry him and he loves it to, most of the time he will kick up a fuss for the first 20 seconds and then snuggle in and drift of to sleep. the thing that has supprised me is how he seems to manage his temperature really well. We went out on Sunday for a walk and it was quite hot, but being strapped to my front he was actually cooler than he was in his car seat.
