My Brother

I got a text message today from your uncle Kirk. He is living rough and apparently suicidal. I have tried to contact his wife but without much success. I have called the police in the UK. Lets hope that they find him before he does something stupid.
I love my brother but we argue all the time, always have always will

Wow they stole her Rolex

You and mummy were witnesses to a robbery. A lady was attacked in the carpark of La Cañada and had her Rolex stolen. She was pushed over and the dragged along the ground until her 15000€ watch came off.

The robbers escaped on a motorbike. Mummy's BP was higher then mine I imagine!

Omron

Lets take my blood pressure with my shiny new BP monitor.........hmmm 148 over 106

Not So good news

Hi Tom

I have a very serious blood pressure problem. My blood pressure is 180/120. This is considered to be a hyper-tension crisis. If the doctors cannot resolve this problem, I will be very prone to a stoke or indeed a heart attack.
The thought of leaving you and mummy just fills me with so much grief. I am sure that I will be fine but just in case,I want you to know how much I love you and mummy.

If anything does happen to me, your mummy will be there to look after you. Mummy just loves you with a completely unconditional love. Let her love you Thomas.

Your Song

Can you here the lonesome Whippoorwill
It sounds to blue to fly
The midnight train is whining by
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Well I've never known a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moons just gone behind a cloud
To hide it's face and cry

Have you ever seen a Robin weep
When leaves begin to fall
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry

The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Visit to Hospital

Hi Thomas

Last night I had to visit the doctor at the emergency room in the Costa Del SOl hospital near Marbella. My blood pressure has been increasing for a couple of months.
When I got there it was 180/120. This is very high. They gave me an ECG and my heart was fine. The doctor gave me two little pills under my tongue and these little white miracle workers fixed the blood pressure in under a hour.

As as was leaving I saw a woman of about 23 walking towards me. She was with her brother or her boyfriend and laughing at a something he had said. She never made eye contact with me. She looked across the roadn the colour literlay drained from her face. My my gaze followed her.
Standing in a group was a family. They were struck with grief. I turned to look back at the girl. Her hands were at her mouth and tears already were flowing from her eyes. The girls screamed and ran across to her family. It was awful.

They had lost her brother. He was killed on a building site when he fell of a scaffold. He was 28.

Our Weekend

This weekend you and I spent lots of time together we did the following at one point over the weekend

Went to the paseo to have a pain au chocolate at Grat Grat’s (twice)
Sang the wheels on the bus go round and round 500 times. Making up verses that include animals. For example, the dog on the bus goes woof woof woof etc.
Invented a game with your teddy bears and other stuffed animals that involved acting out all your favorite nursery rhymes. You just loved this game and you really did fall about laughing at it. You particularly enjoyed the big bad wolf in the three little pigs and Goldilocks and the three bears.
We went to El court Englais to buy you a pair of pajamas.
You also managed to buy two new cars from the film ‘Cars’.
We walked around the old town for 2 or three hours.
We went to the play park and looked at the frogs in the pond there.
We made an apple and blackberry crumble, using one of Abba’s recipes. It was very good.
We watched the film ‘Cars’ on my computer.
We had two baths
We experienced the kid of nappy disaster that people could make films about.
We went to La Cañada to play in the super bowl. You love it there.
We had ice cream at La Cañada. I ordered a selection of ice-cream that was meant to come in five tiny ice-cream, wafer bowls. They had run out of these little bowls so the sent over 6 portions of ice-cream. You looked like you had won the lottery. We did not eat all of it.
You ate salmon that mummy had cooked. It was delicious
You parked your toy cars in an extremely long line.
In the bath we invented a new story in which you visited Lightning McQueen in Radiator Springs. You stayed at the Cozy Cone Motel and had a flight in the Dinaco helicopter.
We played the spitting game in the bath. This drives mummy crazy. We like it though.
We treated you infected eye 6 times with your special cream (cream is rubbish)
We payed Hide and Seek both at home and at La Cañada. You are just learning and you think if you hide under the glass coffee table etc that nobody can see you.
You got a lot better at Hide and Seek when you had me in a complete panic. You were in the fireplace. Mummy must never know!
We went to the toy shop in Marbella where the toys start at 58€. You love it in there. The toys are really for adults as they are extremely expensive and even more delicate. The owner is Irish and we only see im on Sunday’s, he looks like he is going to cry as you charge around his shop, with me running after you shouting ‘Tom, don’t touch that.’ I told him he should sell tickets. How he laughed (not).

Love Daddy
