The greatest day of Dave's life

...was probably not when we got married (although that was one real fine party if I remember rightly). It was probably when the kids were born (because, so the old wives tale goes, that was what made a man out of him...or was that when he tore down and rebuilt the shed a couple of months back)..anyway today is up there as definately, most probably, pretty sure of it, the best day of his life. Why? Because some random guys appeared out of the blue with a cherry picker, fiddled with the telegraph pole where the woodpeckers hang out, hung a big black cable and stuck this sign on the post.

Yes, fibre is coming. We think. Anyway, this means all the best days are coming for Dave. #marriedtoanoriginalgamer

In other news, Sam drove a car for the first time yesterday as part of a school event and also got shown loads of useful stuff as well as being a first responder on a crash scene. He soaked up the whole experience like a sponge and told me everything like an excited puppy, including stalling 6 times and not realising there was a knack to releasing a hand break. Won't be long 'till he's 17 and getting lessons.

Mum's headed south to see her brother who is still very poorly, and to support his daughters who have a lot of worries to shoulder.
