  • Felt Like Kismet…

    Wednesday, 20th February 2013 There are some days where you just feel that the whole of the world is designed to cause you some level of failure. Laws regarding large numbers would deem this collision of events inevitable, and chaos theory would likely indicate that the smallest element was the cause as a tumble effect…

  • Old MacDonald

    Anyone else think this tractor looks like it is on PCP?

  • Elliott, Mum and Grandma on the Squirrel Ride

  • Time to retyre*

    We told the kids that we were going on an adventure this morning and how right we were… It was 8:25 a.m. And we were in heavy (ish) traffic on the M6 southbound just past junction 23, doing between seventy and eighty overtaking traffic, when I heard a noise from the front of the car…

  • Certificate

    Leigh passed her degree late last year but it felt a little more official today as he received her certificate through the post. So she is now a scientist, expect her to use the XKCD line mercilessly in the future. Her graduation ceremony will be in Edinburgh in April.

    It’s early in the morning and once again both the boys get their daddy to carry them to their parents bed for early morning story time.

  • Chinese New Year

    10th February 2013 It was Chinese New Year today, we originally wanted to stay close to home as Lancaster has, in the past, placed events on the Chinese New Year. This year there seemed to be a lack of any information on the websites as to anything occurring, so we decided to go further afield.…

  • Elliot’s First Birthday

    9th February 2013 Elliott, the littlest Keating, was a whole year old on Saturday finally passing the stage from baby into Toddler, though who can say when that exact point is anyway. As usual we had a family and friends party at Chez Keating in Lancaster with a large number of people turning up and…
