running shorts...

overheard at Zach's school sports day - 2 small boys discussing a much shorter (for his age) boy
1st boy: Hey look at Danny run. He's really fast considering his height...
2nd boy: Yes he is - that's because he has a very low centre of gravity...

now back to me...

Country Song

I've listened to the words you say
Tried to understand them anyway
You talk so much my head is spinning
Don't know what game you think you're winning
Seems on the days my love's departing
You feed me just enough to keep me starving

So let me go ... let me go
If you can't find the love inside you
To fill my heart the way it used to
Just close your eyes
Walk away
We'll make love
Some other day
And stop looking for the answers to our future in our past

I've got 10 good reasons for walking away
And the one bad one that always makes me stay
I'm dragging round a dream that ended
Long before the plot got mended
You say you will even though you won't
This loose connection's our sticking point

So let me go ... let me go
If you can't find the love inside you
To fill my heart the way it used to
Just close your eyes
Walk away
We'll make love
Some other day
And stop looking for the answers to our future in our past

Zach's first suit...

First words on opening his eyes this morning
Zach: Yesterday was great!
J: You enjoyed going to Pauls's wedding then?
Zach: Yeah ... I made new friends and had loads of fun
J: It was lovely wasn't it, probably the best wedding I've ever been to.

For dn on a Monday morning...
