Butter

"I like you dad" my son said as he wiped a hand full of butter into my jeans.

i finished this project last friday (9th of july 2010), only spent four days in the school. the project went so smoothly i thought something was bound to go wrong but it didn't. i loved every minute of this project and i'm really pleased with how it turned out. all the children involved really got stuck in.

tube floats, caerphilly and a troubled individual

me and my son went swiming on sunday morning to our local pool. i'd taken his tube float along as per usual. i'd previously written dans name on both ends of the tube to avoid any tube ownershop related incidents. at the end of our session i realised that our tube had floated away and some other father and son where using it.
"hello" i said "sorry to interupt but thats my sons tube, we're getting out of the pool now so we need it back" i explained.
"huh" the father replied.
"it's my sons tube" i repeated, "if you look at either end you'll see his name".
"oh sorry, i thought daniel was the tubes name".

i've been working in the ely of cardiff area over the last two weeks where i heard the following two lines which cracked me up.
"it's alright but it isn't caerphilly" and my personal favourite
"yeah he's great. till the pills wear off and he turns into a c**t.
i've included a pic of a mural i just finished last week with a gambian theme for the grand avenue times.

i was moisturiing my son yesterday after his bath when he started to examine his "frank and beans",
"i like my willy, i use it to pee don't i, i'm going to pee all day tomorrow". he said.

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.
