Disney Planes

Well we had planned on heading to the coast today for a few days but the accommodation didn’t work out so instead the boys suggested a movie theatre trip to see Disney Pixars latest animation – Planes.

We went to the very first showing in 3D at Wakefield’s Cineworld in a bid to Duce the volume of people we would be mixing with Olly. It worked pertly in that there were know more than 30 people in the theatre for the show.

It was a really impressive movie – totally up to the challenge it was set – I.e. had to better all animated pictures from Disney Pixar.

We then went for a swim at Grandma’s before heading home with fish and chips for tea :-).

Elliot has managed to squeeze in a couple of hours of Minecraft online with Tyler tonight and we are presently thinking of the plan for tomorrow – Elliot of course voted to stay home (assuming that he can play on the Xbox) and Olly is in bed so sadly is not presently able to vote.

Bikes at the park or Sundown Adventure Land or Yorkshire Wildlife Park (aka Doncaster zoo)…

Many options and I suspect that we will just figure it out in the morning once we find out how the littlest Rust wakes up…. Yes, after the movie theatre, he has been his usual devilish self today….

Clumber Park Trip

A couple of hours with a picnic and scooters in Clumber Park seemed like such a great idea. It would get us all out of the house and in the open air without finding ourselves to be close to too many others – infection risk for Olly 🙁

The weather was really nice and warm and all was going well until Olly realised that he was pretty tired. Only he didn’t realise – he just began kicking off and shouting and screaming. The best part of an hour later and we decided enough was enough and head home – not even 5 minutes into the journey and our little mouse was fast asleep 🙂

His attitude has been significantly better since his sleep 🙂

We also had a little outing to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in Bretton – this ended in a similar state – Olly had enough then and was tired then also… 🙁

A visit to Smyths Toy Superstore

We finally made the trip to the new toy shop in Leeds, Smyths. We promised Olly could go once he was better and able to venture out following the op, so we made sure that we got there for opening time first thing this morning to reduce the chances of subjecting Olly to lots of other people.

The store is really impressively stocked, well laid out and overall a delight to wander around. They seem to have so much more choice than Toys R Us and some rally good items in their 2 for £15 deals.

The boys really enjoyed their visit and came away very happy with their respective purchases.

Now, sadly we return to the house to put ourselves back under arrest…..

Cheeky XR2 detail

This afternoon daddy has helped Cousin James detail his XR2 prior to it being used in a television programme by the BBC. They have approached him to use his car in the opening sequence :-). Cool.

Anyway, we spent about 6 hours on the car and have stripped the protection is already had right back, removed the swirl marks, protected the paintwork and then layer down three laters of wax.

The car looked great when it arrived just after lunch but loped simply incredible once we had finished. James seemed to really enjoy learning his new skills and daddy clearly enjoyed the work 🙂

We have been 48 hours without any of the pain medication so are hoping that we have finally got to the right side following the operation.

He has been full of it today and is no longer experiencing pains it seems. the operation site loos nice and pretty much all of the angry redness has vanished.

YAY !
