It's a bit of a freaky pic! This is Shark (or Bob as Sunshine likes to call it now) at 22 weeks and 2 days. All is going well so far, Shark is growing well and certainly moving around!
Here's another one where you can see Sharks arm quite clearly...
...recently because the LCD on our camera is dead...Well, broken internally...So we are having to resort to using the viewfinder...or just taking a chance with what comes out which is resulting in some dodge photos! Anything worth looking at will be found in the usual place on Flickr! Hopefully we'll get a new camera soon....
We haven't had many gadgets recently, but I decided that I needed a carpet cleaner (of all the mundane objects to desire) as I am fed up with the yukkiness of our 'cream' carpet and with the impending onset of potty training I decide it would be a good investment! Lucky for me my mum had bought one a couple of months ago and was very pleased with it (and she is not easily pleased!) so with the leg-work done, I set to finding the cheapest one I could....and I did! One hundred quid off! Bargain! Just need the heating fixed so I can try it out!
When we went to collect said item from Curry's (yes Curry's...unbelievable that it was the cheapest!) Peter insisted on going into 
Comet (sigh) to have a look at PC's/Laptops for use in the living room as his dear old lappy is a tad slow these days...when we stumbled upon this little beauty for a knock-down £120! Yes! £120! A definite bargain considering what Amazon is selling it for!!! So we spent most of yesterday evening setting it up with the digi-antenna, adding the newest photos, connecting to the home network and marvelling at how quickly it booted up...Next the big telly! So far we are both impressed...and if it only lasts a couple of years, what have we lost? (hopefully not all out photos!)
Nature Girl...very good ending...in fact I really enjoyed this book! It took a while to get into it as I started it a few weeks before we went away, but once I got the thread it was hard to put down. The core revolved around wreaking revenge on a ruthless telemarketer and it was great...
Deception Point ...I didn't think I'd read another Dan Brown as I felt I'd had enough 
of his style. But I did enjoy this book, there was certainly suspense running throughout and a twist near the end which surprised me...
State of the Union ...I started this one and it is a bit of a page-turner! I pinched it from the villa book-cupboard as I had run out of other books..and there wasn't much else which took my fancy! I finished this recently and added it to my Bookmooch inventory and someone wants it already!
Goodbye 2007...Hello 2008....I did manage to see the clock change at midnight...I couldn't sleep (how much of a wet blanket am I??) Well, we were so knackered from our trip home from Portugal, that Peter sloped off to bed at 9:30PM....I did try but was too wide awake at 11:30Pm so I got up. I'm sure by the end of 2008 we'll be in a similar state when Shark puts in it's appearance mid-year!
I don't usually do resolutions as I seldom keep to them...but this year I am going to be more positive about things - I hadn't been too good at that towards the end of 2007. Also I am going to be ruthless with the 'stuff' that has accumulated in the house over the years...Watch out Freecycle/eBay/Municipal tip/Bin men!
New year, new challenges and plenty of them!!
