SHOCK HORROR AS COUNCILLOR IS CAUGHT PLAYING GAMES ON CBEEBIES WEBSITE, AGAIN!
I have decided to take little bit of advice from my colleague Councillor Jon-Paul Howarth in writing this post. Earlier this morning I telephoned Jon-Paul, to wish him all the best for the New Year and we got talking about my blog, amongst other things. He suggested that I should “chill out”, and write a few interesting posts about my smashing grandchildren.
Well, I switched on my CD player and put on my new CD by Susan Boyle, “I Dreamed A Dream” and I dreamed of a day without politics; just as Jon-Paul suggested. And, now I have returned back to “Shock Horror - Councillor Plays Games on CBeebies Website“.
I suppose it all started yesterday afternoon when my wife Carol went to pick up the two grandchildren, somehow I knew we would finishing up looking after them, but I love it. It gives me the chance to dream that dream, and finish up fantasy land for just a few hours - of course they were full of it!
It’s surprising how much they have changed in the last year Nathan is now 6 and James who is the youngest at 4; they both the best of friends but on the other hand love to tease each other – like most siblings.
Last night they assured me that they wanted to see the New Year in, but naturally they were in bed well before 2010 arrived and not even the fireworks could wake them up from their little world of make believe.
They’ve been great all day, and Nathan loves playing games on the computer and looking at video clips on YouTube. Normally, he says to me in a quiet voice: “Grandad can I go on CBeebies, please?” And, if I don’t respond he then becomes a little more aggressive: “Grandad, you have been on the computer a long time, it’s now time for my go, please let me on?”
And, of course I have allowed him to have a number of goes today; well after all it’s the 1st January, and we might as well start as we mean to go on – be friendly, be good and nice.
Nathan is naturally a whizz on the web and if I don’t watch out he is exploring the World Wide Web; before I know where he is, he will have found a new website that he learnt about at school. He can now even find my website; at least he gives me a few more hits. I just might catch-up Iain Dale, that Tory Blogger before 2011 arrives.
Today, he’s been playing on Bob the Builder, Balamory, Boogy Beebies, Doodle Do, Little Red Tractor, Postman Pat, Tommy Zoom, and then we’ve spent some time looking at Thomas the Tank Engine on YouTube, but I am just now wondering if the Home Secretary had his spies out looking down from up on high? If the surveillance equipment was logged onto my computer, it may be a question of “Shock horror as Councillor is caught playing games on CBeebies Website, again!”
Well at least we had some fun, and all that remains is for me to wish you all Happy New Year from Carol, Nathan, James and myself and let’s hope that it’s is a prosperous year for everyone but in particularly the residents of the East Marsh.
