Granddad



as promised earlier here is my grandson.


and this is mum and dad with the bonny baby

I'm a grandfather

Today my daughter Sharon gave birth to a fine baby boy named Korey he is 8 lbs 6 oz. Which of course makes me a granddad and so make me so proud to be the dad of my daughter. I've yet to see mum, dad and son but will tonight, so pictures of this new family will be published later tonight. As usual I'm working while all this excitment is on the go and this probably makes me seem like I don't care which is sooooo wrong I would love to be able to just shut up the shool and go and see them but there is close to 400 people in here today and by the time I got them all out they would have been finishing anyway.
I'll see them tonight which will give everyone a chance to have calmed down after the excitement of today. As far as I know Sharon and Dale went into hospital last night about midnight and the baby was born at 8:17 am this morning which I don't think was too long for a first baby. Anyway as we say in Edinburgh I am chuffed to the gutties and a tear springs to my eye every time I think about the little fella and being a granddad.
So my mysterious readers, if there are any, look out for these fantastic out of focus and shaky pictures of my new grandson later today or early tomorrow.

Oh I meant to say that Korey means Gods Peace in Germanic and English and Dweller in a hollow Spear in gaelic he's gonna be a fantastic young man, look out world here he comes.

More nonsense from the edge....

I've almost completed the renovations to my daughter and son-in-laws house and have been thoroughly enjoying it all. Also don't know if I ever mentioned this before but my feet and lower legs have been in constant pain since last may and I finally got to see a neurologist for a consult and she has prescribe a nerve pain killer for me which I'll get next week - why next week? - because my own GP has to actually do the prescribing. I hope that I'll finally get some relief from the 24/7 pain I've been suffering and I'll be able to smile for real instead of all the pretend smiling I've been doing for too long now. Mind you there is always the possibility that these new drugs will knock me off the planet to some happy place - will I mind or even know if that happens just have to wait and see.

Going to be a granddad any time now, can't wait, and will probably become some super soft eejit ooooooing and aaaaaahing all over the little tyke which is definately not a bad thing to be.

Next post will know whether it's a boy or a girl, girl or a boy, better not have a preference as either will be loved as much as the other.

necxt post might also be from outer space depending on the drugs :)
