Saturday Night Sunday Morning (also a good tune by Phil Collins)

Spoke to Mummy last night, had a nice chat but we were both distracted - I was pretty tired and she was getting ready for Paul Millis to arrive. It was really nice to hear her voice even though we didn't talk about anything of substance - Amy is away with Steve for her 2 year anniversary. Yawn.

Overall it was bittersweet I think, Tom is doing much better and becoming more himself - probably means we're due for an argument soon ;o)

We arranged t0 meet on MSN in the morning so Molly could see her Baa-baa, which involved a lot of mucking about on both our parts, but I thought we'd got it all sorted. Went to bed at 3am instead of staying up to watch Man Utd vs Tottenham so I'd be compus mentus in the morning (ish). Clare woke me up 8.30ish for snuggles then Molly joined us.

Just after 9am, Mummy phones, having been on the turps with her guests, of course the MSN isn't working. I talk her through the process, difficult at the best of times but with her friend Al Cohol interfering I found myself slowly losing patience. "NO!! NO DOT!" was one of the phrases that were uttered with a raised voice.

Got it sorted in the end, and we all loved it! Molly loved seeing Baa-baa and Grandad Tom/Poppa - Tom shares the privilege I have of being equally known by two names, I don't know how Molly decides these things. I think I'd prefer Grandad Tom and Poppa better than Daddy and Paul personally...

Poor Mummy was a little cut up at seeing Molly but held it together nicely, she got the chance to see Clare's bump and Molly was on good form, kissing the screen for both Grandparents until she announced her boredom with an abrupt "Bye". A wholly enjoyable experience!

Afterwards, we did a bit of tidying up; then Molly decided she wanted to survey the world from her swing in the garden - taking her bottle and blanket with her and just sitting in the sun under the shade. God bless her, she fell asleep after an hour. See the pics.

Linda and David came round early in the afternoon and brought the dog Tessie (a Jack Russell), wonderful for Molly but no fun at all for the two cats! Surprisingly, the youngest - and weakest looking - stood her ground and tried to chase Tessie out.

Have set up the home network now, so now have wireless PC's attached to every TV in the house, streaming films and TV shows as and when I wish. I'm a clever sod.
