The Hols begin...

The last few weeks have been busy, and Dad is finally on "holiday".

We have blitzed the front room, removed the Guinea Pigs and transported them into a nice new hutch outside, built by Dad and J from scrap wood and chicken wire. We thought they were attracting flies inside, and managed to slay in excess of 1000 houseflies using fly paper and an electric swatter from poundland.

Though on talking to colleagues at work, it may not have been the Guinea Pigs at all, as there seems to be a housefly-festation going round. But as you can see flypaper really does work - how very 19th century of us.

Today we put up E's climbing frame in the newly arranged front room (on account of the garden being either slabs (too painful if he falls off) or - at the moment - jungle.


As a holiday project Dad is building a simple CMS system suitable for a school Intranet (inspired by Fronter but aiming to be simpler to use).

Nearly there...

Dad is seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and looking forward to getting his students done.

We are experimenting with a new hay-fever allergy symptom relief that involves sticking LEDs up your nose... interesting - light therapy for your mucous membranes I suppose (the Lloyds Pharmacy version of this).

And Dad re-discovered Navajo Frybread - easy to make - yummy with butter (marge) and honey.
