By this ad thingy is good, just like Amazon recommends. I might have to have a game later praising certain brands or services only to contradict myself if an advert for it appears. Then again I couldn't really be bothered and writing that on screen is probably following through with the actual deed.
   Had a bit of a nostalgia trip today after taking Bethany to my parents while Alison slept off her night shift. My dad decided to dig out some old toys of my sister and mine (she also turned up to play (sorry reminisce)). Quite why they still had 30 year old toys in the attic, especially as they have moved house since we've grown up, I'm not quite sure but Bethany seemed diverted enough for a little time particularly with the yellowed receipt roll for the cash register. Disappointingly after hunting for batteries it didn't do much more with power and was basically a calculator with a drawer. I was hoping for some beeping noises at least but all that was to be found were a few pesetas, pfennigs and centimes in amongst the plastic money we removed from the drawer before passing it to my daughter. Also alongside an FA Cup centenary coin from 1972 was a piece of paper with the address for the Kylie and Jason Fan Club which I passed to my sister in case she still required it. By the time the Fisher Price High Street was dusted down poor Bethany was more bemused by the sight of us filling the cars up with petrol and locking up half of the residents in the local jail. Time has not been kind to that little town and it's ageing population which is in desperate need of some youth or immigration as the cars now outnumber the people.
   This afternoon proved no less eventful when we went for something to eat with Alison's family. It was primarily for her aunt Ella's 76th birthday but also provided the opportunity to see her sister's sons. As Nathan is only a month younger than Bethany, one or the other is usually requiring attention and this sometimes leaves Joshua feeling a little left out at 8. As I was driving then I am enjoying having a drink now - which reminds me: I must go and top my glass up.
