Month: June 2001

June 14: The family’s first pets have taken up residence in Caleb’s new bedroom; after a bit of campaigning, and a little inspiration from Pokemon, Caleb took a couple of ‘Crazy Crabs’ home from the pet shop today. They’ve been named after their Pokemon counterparts – ‘Krabby’ and ‘Kingler’ (Krabby is the smaller one, and has already told Caleb what he thinks of being mis-handled. Caleb has learned what those ‘big hands’ are for….). They’re enjoying their time up on the third shelf, and the girls have overcome their initial misgivings to somehow find a way to dump half the crab’s food supply in with them.

June 8: Following an Eastern States tour this week, I have discovered that

• If you ask a Grandmother to bring some photos of her grandkids to show around; the fact that they’re in an A3 sized picture frame will not be an issue
• Just because a rugby side is sponsored by a dutch beer company, it doesn’t mean that the team can necessarily stomach the stuff.
• If you happen to have a drug bust being performed your street, it’s poor form to grab a beer and stand outside pointing and laughing.
• The size of a dessert is not proportional to how much it will ‘fill you up’.
• Someone will probably NOT get fired at the Beverley Hills cinema for misspelling ‘Pearl Harbo(u)r’.
• Stephen Wright is probably best left do do his own jokes.
