Today Frank came home in a new uniform, wearing make up!! No, he's not suddenly got a new hobby, he got given his greens and they all put on camoflauge make up and played evasion (hide and seek) in the park. Sorry about the pictures, i took them on my phone and then my computer wouldnt let me rotate them.
As you all know, my pride and joy the Nissan Micra has just died. It has failed its MOT. I am getting a second hand '02 Daewoo Matiz on Monday. It is blue and it has power steering!! It also has a cd player which the girls arent too pleased about as i will probably be playing status quo. It has got proper air conditioning rather than natural air conditioning, which may turn out to be a little warmer.
Today i went flying in a Grob Tutor. The number of the plane was G-BYWP. the other plane that our squadron used today was numbered G-BYWV. My instructor was called mike and he talked a lot and pointed out loads of senery. My logged time was 45 minutes but i was not in the air that long. when i was escorted to the plane by the ground crew i had to climb up onto the wing only stepping on a thin grey strip. The ground crew put some cushions on the seat. Once in the plane he pushed the canapy so that it was almost shut. The pilot reved the engine up to full and back to idle then he taxied to the furthest runway and parked up with the parking brake on. Then he showed me the main instruments and set up the GPS. Then because we were the first ones out in that plane we waited for the oil temperature to rise to the right temperature. Then he checked the other gauges and tested the flaps. After that he put flaps on for take off and taxied onto the runway. He then took off into strong winds. He flew us to the left when ATC told us to use runway 06 on landing. he then turned us round and told me to gently hold the stick and he went through controlling the aircraft. Then he said you have control. So i flew to York Then he took over and flew around York then back to Church Fenton.
Hello again, in a busy week we come to the next 'big' day. Friday sees Frank celebrating his 14th birthday. News just in - Frank went to ATC tonight and has been promoted to 1st class cadet. He has also been invited to go for his first days flying on 1st August, REMEMBER - DUCK AND COVER. He has used a flight simulator on his computer, and he delights in trying to nose dive into the ground!
On 2nd June we went to Julie and George's Wedding. I have been meaning to make a post about it for a while but i keep forgetting. It was a beautiful day, it was so sunny that they had to take the wedding pictures inside. Between the wedding and the reception we went to Uncle John and Aunty Norma's house and sat in the garden in the sun. The reception was brilliant, good music and good food and as Vicky will tell you, good drinks aswell. I will upload some more pictures later because these are only the pictures that Vicky has on her myspace. 
We havent posted on here for ages so Vicky said we needed to do a post.
So what has happened recently.....?
Well on Friday we got a NEW CAR!!!!!! A brand new silver Renault Grand Scenic. Just slightly better than the old car : ) Mum and Dad are fighting for Chauffeur duties at the moment, I dont think it will be long before we have to get the bus again.

Frank came home this afternoon and is already lording it up. His homecoming was delayed until he could eat without vomitting and also get out of bed and walk. The first he managed at lunchtime, the second took a bit longer. Hey, come on, he is a teenager, Vicky always has problems getting out of bed! The consultant was very happy with the surgery and has even offered Frank a video of his own operation! Maybe I should post the gory bits on the blog when we get it! The good news from Franks point of view is that he's got the rest of the week off school, and also can't do PE or games for a month.
Frank was lying in bed half asleep as he had just had a dose of morphene and was feeling a little sick because of this. Afer about half an hour he perked up a little. Apparrently he had waited for his sisters and mum to visit which was nice. Hopefully he will be home tomorrow sometime if he is eating without feeling ill.
