hupdate
finally got the dent in my car "fixed" yesterday. i say fixed, i mean the dented wing was replaced by the shiny new colour matched one the dent-er of my car bought months ago and has been lying round the house...
to celebrate, i ignored the cost of fuel and pootled across to the west coast to see my nephew and meet his new dog. originally the dog was to get him up and moving after whatever surgery he ended up having, but now it's something to love and look after to stop him dwelling on his stupidly short future. it's a beagle puppy he's named sniffer, and for some reason i failed to get a picture.
as for the lump, it's close to splitting. he's going to need sedating before dressing changes if that happens (as it'll be so painful) so he's pretty much getting all the fun things he can handle shoved at him at the moment.
most days he goes to school for as long as he can handle - usually all day because he loves it. one of the girls has broken her ankle so they have wheelchair races in pe! but there's been all sorts thrown in by the charitable people of the north west - a high speed police car run and a look round a police helicopter (the pressure changes during a flight could split his leg so that was cancelled), being knighted at camelot (the theme park), being limo-ed to an everton match and meeting the players, seeing dancing on ice (dont laugh, he loves it) and being covered in lipstick kisses by the ladies, and recording a couple of songs in a real studio just after the zootons had left apparently. there's more to come too...
if only everyone was having fun - this weekend brings the joy of celine dion with my mother *cries and hides in shame*.
