My wife Paula.

While waiting for his food, Sam enters the colouring competition and wins 1st prize - a holiday in Disney Florida for the whole family and £2000 spending money! - Ok, so I'm kidding - the drawing got covered in food and drink and was left on the table. Nice to dream though.

Steve Jackson a friend and owner of AllStar Costume Hire - the biggest costume hire shop in Manchester. (I think!)

Did a run to costco yesterday. I love costco, but find that I spend a small fortune on stuff we didnt really need.

The dark nights are drawing in and althogh I miss the evening light, I really love the lights at the shop at this time of the year. They look so warm and inviting. This isnt a good photo, but you can get an idea of what I'm talking about.

Mac sure loves his food....

When we were thinking of getting a dog, I had visions of us taking trips out as a family with the dog. Today we all took the dog to the park for a walk and it was everything I wanted it to be. Mac is a welcomed addition to our family.

Had a wonder into town today to do a little shopping with Paula (wife) and my mum. While they did ran around next I sat on the steps outside and watched the world go by. Some strange people in Manchester city center during the day.

We've been thinking of getting a new car and were starting to narrow the list down. This is top of the list at the moment (Well, not this actual car, but this model).

This is the doggy walking path and Mac loves it.

We took Sam and Joe to the petshop today to get some bits for Mac. During out visit, Sam decided he would go for a swim with the fishes. Well, not really, but from the other side of the tank, it sure looked like it!

My mum is over from the Las Vegas to visit. Its always good to see her. I think we'll go to costco tomorrow and stock up the fridge. If theres on thing my mother is good at, its shopping. I think its in her blood.

Joseph and Samuel learning to drive. I didnt give them the keys - and I dont think that they even for one moment thought about driving, but I'm willing to bet that if you asked them, they woud give you an amazing story of the journey they went on.

One of the few people I class as a true friend (Stuart) fitting a carpet in Josephs bedroom.

I downloaded the latest live video show of Keith and the Girl (show 354) yesterday and watched in on my MacBook. I absolutely loved it - so much better than show 300 which to be honest was a little disapointing due to the limited view in the video. If your stuck for somerthing to do and want some entertainment, check them out at www.katg.com or why not buy the live show at www.katg.com/live (Of and just so you know the full url is www.keithandthegirl.com

Received from a stranger via bluetooth while stood in Manchester today.

This is a photo of me on my way up in the world.... Well, Im in an elavator :)

Took Ryan to the Doctors today to have his legs looked at. The Doctor looked and said he really liked them. :)

Bought a new book the other day. World Press Photo - things as they are. Its a wonderful book.

The sky was so overcast and the rain had been coming down all day - then a break in the clouds and the sun came out - I spotted this rainbow and its was a wonderful sight. The picture does it no credit in reality. It was so bright in the sky and you could actually see the ending with a pot of gold... Right near my house :)

Katie is ginger and she lives in a p**. I cant read what she lives in, but I thought it worth a picture.

Another pointless sign that states the obvious. How about - 'Sharp things can stick in you'.

Sam is now 8 !! I cant believe how quickly time is passing. It seems like only yesterday when he was being brought home from the hostpital. Long gone are the restless nights.

Went into the petrol station the other day and was happy to see that petrol has come down in price again. My gas guzzling motor normaly requires £80 to fill at tank, but this time it only took £67. Yawn - this post is so boring.

Joe came with me to walk the dog this evening. We got caught in a rain shower, even though the sun was shining through. He loved it!

One of the benefits of my wonderful new dog - I get to see signts like this early in the morning. I dont think I've ventured out of the house for a walk before 8am for quite some time - in fact never - now I have an excuse!

Portrait of Mac the dog.

Took a few photos in the park this evening while walking the dog (mac) with my son.

Making the maintanence contract pay for itself. £1,800 per year to look after these machines!

A late blooming sunflower in our garden. A sign that the seasons are shifting?

It came on the news this evening that Richard Hammond is in critical condition after being involved in a crash at 280mph. Gutted as he's a great presenter and Top Gear would'nt be the same without him.

My new MacBook.

Collecting Paula from the shop this evening and I noticed this.

Collecting the kids from school and using somebody elses internet connection. This is me sat in my car on my new laptop. Its so nice to have a laptop with a decent battery life. The VAIO used to die within a few minutes!

My dog is the happiest dog in the world.

Mac the dog had a bath today. He is such a wonderful dog and is a much loved addition to the Rustage family.

Posting is just as easy on this thing. This is a photo of my SUPER SEXY wife. She doesnt wear glasses and she never wears her hair like that, but she looks great!

Not sure how this is going to look as this is the first entry from my new mac and I havent yet figured out how to auto upload. Sure it must be possible. The photo was taken at a recent dental appointment. 30 mins of having my mouth wedged open while my teeth where whitened! I dont think I'd be any good in the army - I'd talk straight away, without any torture!

Oh no! He's started his chewing! Hide everything and buy lots of dog toys.

Ouch! Another crash outside the shop.. I missed this one, but caught the aftermath.

A large welcome to the newest member of the Rustage family - Mac Rustage !

Today we took a trip to blackpool. I took my camera, but took hardly any photos. I'm going to make a huge effort to start taking more. Watch this space.

Took jess (paula's mum dog) to wales fishing. First time she's been to the sea side - She loved it!

The sky seems so much bigger in wales..
