    The baby is a massive one year old today and her parents have absolutely pulled all the stops out ,so proud of my lad as he's the perfect doting Dad. Today is tinged with a touch of sadness because I cant see her ,save from the photos and videos they've sent me. The wife has drove up on her own and I'm left to curse this virus once again. I've just had a face time with them because I wont see her on her Birthday.

    The joy that gorgeous little girl has brought into our lives is immeasurable and the time has just flew by ,cant believe she's one today.

    Last week in my current job. Many students and parents have given me thank you cards and presents. Not ashamed to admit the cards fetched a few tears.

    I am still teaching but at a different place. In my current job I see my students once a week, but I want to work somewhere where I will see the students daily, so got a job working in a private kindergarten in Tokyo. Will be working with the same class most of the week.

    So I get there and she cant open the front door as my lad had locked it on his way to work this morning ,so she passed the baby through the window and I pretended to run away with her 'as you do ' she loved it giggling away ,but she saved her best laugh for her grandad getting through the living room window catching his foot and performing a somersault off the couch and on to the coffee table.

    I'm not exactly Oliver more f*cking Bill Sykes so a burglars life wouldn't be for me and I tend to act on impulse rather than think it through ,ADHD is such a curse. God love her Mum though ,you know when someone really hurts himself and that nervous laugh breaks out even though you do your level best to stifle it. I know she went upstairs to laugh because I could hear her and when she was talking to me she couldnt help smiling.

    I'm sitting here after two Zapain with a cushion behind my back thinking they will both be pissing themselves laughing once my Lad gets home. I think if she had got it on video I would have put a claim in :laugh:

    Baby was brilliant though and the trabs fit her, so there's that !

    Taking the whole family for a meal this afternoon ,excited to have them all together again in one spot ,but nervous because I've made everyone inclusive even those with a proclivity to introduce chaos to the day. It's basically an opportunity for everyone to see the baby and some for the first time ,plus to make a fuss of my Mum for Mothers Day.

    Hopefully it goes without incident and a lovely day is enjoyed by all ,naturally hoping to get back to watch the Brighton game and with all my teeth still in my grid :laugh::laugh:
