It's been busy week so I'll try to be as brief as possible.
We finally lost a pub quiz this week, to a visiting team, at least we beat all the locals. But I did win the spot prize buy knowing guessing that Sir Alec Guinness was born in 1914, which won us a few quid which went towards getting a dvd player with surround sound. Later in the week we tested this out with james bond.
Yesterday we went down to Simons parents and today we took his nephews down to Manchester to see a Doctor who exhibition, and yes, I wanted to go as much as the kids Before we could get in to the exhibit, there was lots of running around old trains and various engines in the science museum and a few races around the old roman fort, which mainly involved them being pushed into the trenches, and pushing me. The attention span of a kid meant that once inside the exhibit, they were only exited about seeing K9, A cyberman, a Darlek or the arachnid queen, when they spotted them from a distance. As they rushed towards any model they saw another in the corner of their eye and got excited about that one instead. They looked as though they were having a great time until it was time to take photos. For some reason when the camera came out they all looked miserable as hell. After Dr Who we took them into town for a Pizza Hut treat. Connor wasn't happy about all this walking and repeatedly said hit feet were burning and why couldn't any one carry him. All that was forgotten when the prospect of unlimited pizza arrived. By the end of the day everyone was over tired, especially Me and Simon, and a joke fight got out of hand and ended in tears. Our cue to leave them with their parents.
We had a few visitors over the weekend. Keith and Jason form Newcastle and Dawn from Manchester. A good night out was had by all, especially Dawn who received an interesting tip from Jason involving Antiseptic throat lozenges.
The main news of the week is Tyler. After a few trips to the RSPCA we found a beautiful Sandy coloured, 11 month old, female, Staffordshire bull terrier. She is currently called Sandy but we are planning to rename her Tyler, this shouldn't be a problem as she doesn't respond to Sandy anyway. We have taken her for a couple o walks where she ran around like a whirlwind and spent a bit of time with her. She is very affectionate and excitable and had a slight look of a Labrador about her. We had a house visit to make sure we would be suitable parents, which we passed. And I am going to pick her up this afternoon. Can't wait.
