ringland snakes and ladders patio

I finished the project i've been working on in ringland today. my clients (ringland communities first) are really happy with the project and have two other projects in the pipe line they'd like me to work on. i was dissapointed that the council couldn't pull their finger out and pressure wash and weed the patio area before we started painting as was aggreed but the young people envolved enjoyed it so alls well that ends well i suppose. there was talk of a snakes and ladders tournament to celebrate the completion of the project so i'll keep you all posted on how that turns out.

ok, so i've been skateboarding for a good few weeks now and i'm still loving it. so much so in fact i've been getting up at six in the morning on the weekend to skate at aberdare skate park. i've posted a video clip i recorded on bank holiday monday. it's just me practicing olies nothing too "ill" or "sick" as us skaters often say. enjoy all.

3/4 length

as i've mentioned in a previous post i've been doing a spot of freelance recently. Last week i was working with a group of young people when suddenly one of them jumped up and shouted
"f*****g c**t, i've got paint on my mothers f*****g jeans" everybody stopped work in shock.
"your wearing your mothers f****g jeans?" another asked
"yeah, but their f****g 3/4 length". he replied
"oh well thats fair enough".

i've just come back from the park in beddau. i took the kids out for the morning to give the wife a much needed rest (and check out the skate park which is next door). it's not much of a play park really most of the play equipment is either broken or has random pieces of graffiti scrawled over it, my favourite is "shaun is bestial". dan always has a good time there running jumping and avoiding pieces of broken glass while aimee either sleeps or looks on nonplussed. as we where walking home chatting about lunch and black birds dan turned and to my absolute horror had blood all over his face and hands. in cleaning it off i realised that it was just a normal nose bleed and nothing to worry about. dan soon forgot about his itchy nose and was asking to have easter eggs for lunch while watching cbeebies. when we got home i mentioned to julie about the nose bleed when dan pipes up with,
"i fell over, i fell over on the road and bumped my head".

thanks a bunch dan.

"I want to see the boats, why can't I see the boats, I never see the boats". My son said as we where standing on Tenby harbour. Another of my favourite lines is " I love milk, I love bananas, I don't like banana milkshake".

busy, busy, busy.

It's all happening here, as well as my responsibilities as a father and husband I've been co-ordinating a project in Ringland (the housing estate in Newport and not a male brothel), painting a mural type thing for the "Coffee Square" in Beddau (if any ones passing call in and take a look, let me know what you think), I've also got the second draft of my final piece of course work to hand in for my evening class, my job search commitments, all this and I'm still managing to fit in nine hours of t.v. a day.

My daughter appears to be some kind of nappy filling Jedi. Don't get me wrong I'm no stranger to baby poo. My son is no amateur in that department. Aimee however is in a whole other league, she can squirt it up the front, down either leg or both legs at the same time. I can only remember Dan getting poo in his hair a couple of times at the most. Aimee's covered from toes to scalp twice a day at the very least.
