Just to let everybody know I became a granddad for the fourth time at 00.03 this morning.
Isabelle just about came on the right date and she is 6lbs 9onzs.
My daughter and Isabelle are fine. Isabelle was obviously keen to start life.
One of the nurses does Bums and Tums and she said she knows me. How strange. grin
Isabelle seems to be trying to cross her legs a lot so we think she is trying to practice her grapevine.
My oldest granddaughter who is 6 went with Mum to a bums and tums class earlier this week as there was nobody to look after her at home.
She wants to join but they are not allowed to until they are 14 in Birmingham.
I am not sure of the reason why. We started Keep Fit at 11 at school which was very similar in a lot of respects and I have never heard of any problems with anybody except a that a few men are still doing bums and tums in their 50's and 60's as a result and the odd woman has objected.
Out of interest all my other granddaughters came at Bums and Tums class times which Mum normally attends.
Andie seems a little bit excited. He was the same when my other granddaughters were born. Dogs seem to pick things up somehow.
I will be visiting Isabelle later on and Andie will send her a woof.

Holding his lead won't stop a dog from doing what a dog has got to do. Which RFL is it? DD is doing Cannon Hill Park (on July 21 I think.)

I will be at that race but I don't know what I will be doing yet.
Also please bear in mind it is nearly 4 months away and a lot of water will have passed under the bridge by then so as I have said before I can not be 100% sure.

Hi Nonu

Yes I salute them as well.
We must not forget the volunteers who help on the day and people involved in the campaigns etc leading up to Race for Life.
Many people who help on the day arrive at around 6.30am and do not leave until after 3pm.
Another point volunteering for part of the day could be useful.
When one of the events happened I could not get there till noon.
My help was welcomed with just the clear down as often we get people to marshal etc but they disappear before things are put away.

Hunterf , yes you are right , the volunters are equally important .
I admire you for giving up your time , even though as you say it may not be be for a very long time .
Every little helps , and it is a very worthy cause .
You are very kind .
