I am going home to mind the spawn of Satan, otherwise known as my nephew.

He’s 6, full of energy, an only child and madder than a bag of squirrels.

I will be sleeping with one eye open lest he does something like this to me.

iBike
Course it would help if i had an ipod nano! – the new ones are nice tho!! :)

Time Capsule 1tb
Running out of space on my (borrowed) 500gb drive – sorry!!

Philips Living Colour Mini Lamp
Seemingly winters here are darker and more miserable than at home (don’t see how that’s possible) so this might help! My excuse and I’m sticking to it.

And I dont really want this… but it does look fun…. for 10mins
USB Real Thumb Drive

Things I’ve done:

Had some lovely me time last night:

Beer and Biterballen and a nice quiet read in the evening SUN!! (those reading in Ireland, the Sun is the yellow orb that used to be in the sky, before CERN harnessed it to make those lazers they are busy firing at each other)

At the weekend we painted this mural on my nephews wall (all thanks to my lovely GF who designed and masterminded the whole thing)

I also saw him in his swimming lesson – next Micheal Phelps I think (no family bias at all… nooooo)

Anyhow… theres a few things that are making me shiny happy these days!

At home for a few days. Sean and his friend Ollie playin guns. Not something i approve of but its innocent fun really. Can’t believe he’s finished his first year at school. He has come a long way, considering he didn’t even know how to play with other kids this time last year. He’s made friends and his teacher is very happy with his progress. Of course we just think he’s amazing anyway. ]]> http://elfinamsterdam.com/2008/06/20/put-your-hands-up/feed/ 0 Catching up http://elfinamsterdam.com/2008/05/30/catching-up/ http://elfinamsterdam.com/2008/05/30/catching-up/#comments Fri, 30 May 2008 13:35:00 +0000 elfinamsterdam http://elfinamsterdam.com/?p=14
Just a quick post to catch up on some events. This is a photo i love of when sean mum and elaine came to visit. We took sean to the nemo. Its the best place ever for kids and has an amazing free roof beach. (Photos later) He loved it. It was his third favourite place after the star wars shop and the fountain at the american hotel. ]]> http://elfinamsterdam.com/2008/05/30/catching-up/feed/ 0
