Patch

This is Patch, my son's (at the moment) favourite teddy. Patch has just been repaired (under arm rip) and washed. Judging by this pose it looks like Patch wants to be an Olympic Gymnast (parallel bars) when he grows up.

Talking of Olympics, P had "a free trial" at the local swimming club. Mum & Dad watched, with immense pride. P enjoyed it thoroughly and showed a lot of competitiveness. His Diving & Polo lessons will end soon and this club will be the next best thing for him. There will be Galas, races, timed trails........
....if he is to become an Olympic Champion he WILL be a Britsh one (my wife is also British, but with Irish blood, whatever that means).

On the down side, my Father-in-Law is still in hospital, but is recovering. His heartrate had been very high last week, which has been steadily decreasing and today it is much lower thankfully. We had my Mother-in-Law & Sister-in-Law round for Sunday dinner, which was nice.
