Adam, Hogging, and Aeroplanes

 <A href="http://journals.aol.co.uk/_do/<div%20style=" center;? text-align: width:480px;>

Sorry the pictures aren't that good.  I tried to put them on AOL pictures.  Couldn't do it.  Any advice form you clever people out there would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

 

It's been a bit busy here over the last few days. 

I seem to have been out all day every day. 

Makes it hard to get updates done.

 

Plus I have to let other members of the household use the computer if only for a couple of minutes.  I tend to hog it you know.!!:)

Don't I Laura.???

 

Adam's appointment at the hospital went extremely well.

His burns are already starting to heal.  They do look horrible though.

The doctor said they were only superficial burns and within the next two weeks they should heal completely leaving no scars and no damage. 

He gave them a good touching and Adam didn't make a sound.

The doctor discharged him from the hospital, and said we only need to see the nurse at the doctors surgery to have the bandages changed.

I am thankful for that for several reasons.

It means that Adam has done no serious damage to himself.

And also that we don't have to do the 2o mile round trek to the hospital any more.

Although saying that Laura is not well at the moment, and I think whatever she has is going to need hospital treatment.

It never rains but it pours sometimes.!!!

Anyway, the nurse bandaged his hand again,  She bandaged every finger separately so he can now use his hand, which is good. :)

By the time we got home the bandage was already coming off.  We  put extra on just to cover the raw skin that had become exposed.

He is due at the doctors tomorrow (Monday) for a bandage change.  Sorted.

 

Not really much news to tell.

Still no job at the moment, although I have some phone calls to make tomorrow.  It's the hours I need which is the problem. Oh well, something has to turn up soon. :(

 

Thursday the weather was so bad here with torrential rain, and high winds.

We, that is to say Laura and me, and Adam, decided to trek over to Simon's house which is like miles away, but it was Luke's birthday, on the 10th January he was 5. And we hadn't seen them to give him his presents.

I only got a couple of miles down the road and the rain was so bad, the wipers just couldn't wipe the water off the windscreen fast enough.

"Ring Simon" I said, "see if it's raining over there"

Simon said it wasn't.  So we carried on.  A mile down the road we drove out of the rain.  Whew.!!!!

We had a good visit, and had a walk around the town where we used to live.

It was dark when we arrived home and Keith was already home from work.  He was not best pleased that I was not in when he got home.  And we have known about it ever since.  he can be mean when he's annoyed.

 

Friday was appointment day, we also went to the Argos to get a few things for the caravan. 

They didn't have anything we needed because the new book was coming out on Saturday. 

We gave up. 

I did however buy a travel cot and a bedguard from Mothercare.

I am indeed getting down my list.

 

Saturday we went back to Argos and did manage to get hairdryers, a healthy grill thingy and an iron.  Everything else was out of stock. WTH.  It was a new book for goodness sake.!!!

Adam spent his pocket money on 2 new games for his PSP. Lara croft and a taxi game.

 

Keith did want to go to Wales, but I decided we couldn't really afford the petrol, and to be quite honest I think it is too early to start taking things up there.  Keith is still not best pleased with me.  Oh well, luckily I have broad shoulders.

 

I decide to have a ride out instead to Cosford Air Museum. 

It's free admission and you can spend quite a few hours there looking at all the old aeroplanes. 

They have a new exhibit about the cold war, which I hadn't seen yet, and I knew Keith wanted to see it too.  He wouldn't come. 

OK. 

Don't then. 

We went anyway. 

There is also a science bit in there with exhibits which you can play with. 

Adam always likes this bit, and of course the shop.  Adam likes that bit as well.

I took some photos but everything was so huge.  They didn't come out very well.

Laura bought Adam a few bits and pieces from the shop, and we enjoyed a cup of tea for me, and hot chocolate for Laura, and a bottle of pop for Adam in the little cafe they have there.

All in all a very enjoyable afternoon.

 

Ade isn't here this weekend so we have to fend for ourselves in the food department.  I have to say though that our cooking skills are improving thanks to Ade.!! :)

Now all we need is a cleaning up fairy.  Oh well, you can't have everything can you.  ????

 

Have a great Sunday.
