away to devon for a mini mid term holiday with the in-laws. left glasgow in blue skies and landed in the rainy south west.

did man marking on the plane - carpet biter2 stretched my capacities as a story teller, getting me to make up three pirate stories as we flew. i'm a good reader of other people's stories but not a great maker-upper. something i admire in others. i think mine were heavily dependent on having just seen pirates of the carribean2. but he's too young to rumble me yet...

arrived in time for first of many meals. carpet biter 2 taken off to be debounced in the pool. carpet biter1 and i chilled out.

i went to look at this tree, it seemed a bit sad about having been blown over...
