Jean was helping tidy up again and came across our industrial sweet collection used for prizes at Scouts etc.... Thank goodness she hasn't worked out that they are edible! She spent ages taking every single sweet out of the tub and then carefully putting them all back in again!
Jean loves the phone, now if you phone and she's about you are lickily to be jabbered at in baby for a good ten minutes before I can prise the phone from her sticky little mitt!
I ment to post these pics ages ago they are from when Jean first learnt to walk!
When I filled in the application forms to be a cub scout leader, I was faced with a problem. There was a little box, long enough for one or two words, called something like "Religion".
The notes explained that having some kind of idea of spirituality was a prerequisite for involvement, which I agreed with; I think that many people these days, rejecting the interesting creation Christianity has evolved into over the past couple of thousand years, have gone rather too far to the opposite extreme, adopting materialism and nihilism.
But I'm afraid I don't have any simple "religion" that I can write a name for in that short a space. If I had to summarise my philosophy of life, I think I'd have to write "Fundamentalist Taoism with influences from Chaos Magick and Fight Club". Which (a) wouldn't fit in that space and (b) might lead people to ask if I'm trying to be funny.
So I panicked and wrote "Methodist", because that's what my wife had put on hers...
But it got me thinking: "What is the most concise description of my philosophy of the world I can write, that won't still require further explanation?". So here's a stab at it.

Sorry I haven't posted for ages - Percival died so I was a bit sad but I will post with pictures about him.
Not to mention the Wiggly Pet winner 😀
I now have two whole fans of my guitar playing, one of them is Alaric and well... ok look he thinks everything I do is great and the other one is Jean.
Yes - Jean, she adores it and even asks for more, unfortunalty she prefers my punk and thrash metal versions of things which is unfortunate as they are what I do (badly) when I can't actually play the song but she seems to think they are the best things ever!
So far in the percivial compertition we have established that Percivial is a:
Vertibrate
Quadraped
Terrestrial (land animal)
Warm Blooded
Has Live young
Mammalian
Todays clue is that it is soft and furry and small.
Carry on guessing and asking questions remember there is a wiggly pet to be won!
