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!
