There’s no ‘may’ about it. This post does contain castles: Kenilworth Castle, in fact, which is just down the road from where I live. In Kenilworth. Today Noah and I went down to the castle as Jess recruited Isaac to help her wash her car (I’d do it, but it goes all streaky). And so, we [...]

OK, so I lied. I don’t have a video of a dog in ballet shoes jiving to Riverdance. I don’t think such a video even exists. But I did get your attention, which is what I wanted. Mwahaha. I’m after a couple of minutes of your time; please could I ask you to nominate me [...]

My youngest son is a bit weird. I mean he’s gorgeous and everything, and he gives me the chompies big-time, but he’s just…a bit strange. For Christmases and birthdays we spend a small fortune on him in the way of presents and gifts: toys to keep him amused whilst we scoff our food in the kitchen [...]

No-one wants their child to be ill. I certainly didn’t want Isaac, our four year-old, to be unwell when he was pulled past me by the arm as I got home from work yesterday. “I’ve got him an emergency appointment at the doctor,” said my wife as she bustled him into the car. “There’s blood [...]

Most of the conversations I have with my wife begin with the words ‘If we didn’t have kids…’ In fact, so many that I even tweeted to this effect, on 20 October via Twitter for BlackBerry, as you can see. If we didn’t have kids, on a nice winter’s evening we could wander down to the castle, [...]

When I was growing up, the willy to tuppence ratio between me and my siblings was 2:1 in their favour. I never had a brother, neither biological nor black. I’ve always liked the idea, though, of having a brother who is a similar age as me, but unless I go out and adopt a young [...]

I see a lot of tripe in the ‘blogosphere’ (shudder), especially when people talk about fatherhood. Really soppy things like ‘my heart swelled ten sizes when she took her first steps’, and ‘ooh, being a father has so wonderfully changed me, now even my trumps smell like Febreze’. The worst is ‘I’m trying to be [...]

My two sons couldn’t be more different – unless, of course, one of them was a girl. But anyway, enough of anatomy. Today, we’re talking about personality.
