Lazy Sunday





Happy Father's Day Chopper. You are a wonderful father and everyone at Chez Aspie loves you loads! You're perfect, thank you for being you.






I got this 'Beautiful Heart' award from Carol. Thank you Carol! I'd like to pass it on to everyone on my blog roll who would like to have it. I read your blogs because I think you all have beautiful hearts so post this award with pride!


I am now 8,000 + words into my new novel in progress 'Plump WAG's Club'. If you would like to read some excerpts from it then please click here. I will post an excerpt on a regular basis, say once a month or more frequently, depending upon how many people are interested. If you leave comments I will feel obligated to continue writing for your amusement and so, in my opinion, it is a win , win situation! It certainly worked when I was writing 'Without Alice'!

Today is a horse riding day for N3S so I will use some of my precious fuel to drive the 2hour round trip with him, just so I can see him smile. Lets hope the petrol crisis is resolved soon so that I can take him next time as I would hate to have to explain why he couldn't go!

Tomorrow is an inset day for N3S so in between answering many, many obscure questions from N3S and wrestling Werecat to the vets, I will also be working from home, admittedly on an intermittent basis...until Chopper gets home from work and then I am going to work my way through my work priority list at a frenzied pace. Which will be what I do on any other work day really, only the computer location will be different.

I hope you all have a lovely lazy Sunday.
P.S. Monday morning - my copy of 'You're not the only one' has arrived. It looks fab and I am having difficulty restraining myself from starting to read it right now...but I must behave, I have work to do!

Great pictures of Chopper! Hope he enjoys his special day. Amy presented the farmer with some chocolate and 2 cards this morning, one she made at school and one bought. He was over the moon and I saw a glimpse of a tear!

Happy fathers day Chopper!

Hope you get that smile from N3S :)

Mei Del said...

i've often wondered and still - do why you call him chopper

DJ Kirkby said...

Hi Lady
Thank you. The award is yours too.

Hi CJ
Aww thats sweet, homemade cards are the best!

Hi Casdok
leaving for riding in a min.

Hi Mei
Chopper is his nickname because he loves bikes and his blogging name is Chopski and also because his initials sound like an airborne type of Chopper and for another reason that I wouldn't share on this blog!

Rob Clack said...

Nice pics, thanks for posting them. Jenny would admire your cacti - she loves them!

Kahless said...

DJ Kirkby said...

Hi Rob
We admire our cacti! They just seem to grow themselves, very low maintenance!

Hi Kahless,
Thanks from Chopper.

Hi Little
We did and thanks to you from Chopper.

Hi Nitebyrd,
Chopper did have a great day. Thanks for the Lulu HTML code. N3S had a great time riding in their fancy new outdoor ring lined with shredded tires.

CAMILLA said...

Hello DJ,
Congratulations on your Heart Award, so too for the book - 'You're not the only one', what great news that must be.

Will nip in from time to time to read extracts of Plump Wags, thank you DJ.

Hope Chopper had a lovely Father's Day.

Hope Chopper is feeling much better these days and had a fab father's day.

DJ Kirkby said...

Hi Nitebyrd
'You're not the only one' is fab, I wish I didn't have to work today so I could stay home and read it!

Hi Debs,
Really glad you liked what you read on 'Plump WAG's Club'. I must find some way to order the posts so they read from first to last as at the moment the prologue is at the bottom...

Hi Lena
If you like 'Plump WAG's Club' then you wnt have to try as you will want to come back and read more, and then I will know I am doing my job right!

Hi Camilla,
The ehart award is for yout oo even though i havent added you to my blogroll yet! So many books to write so little spare time, these things slip from my mind. I hope you enjoy what you read on 'The Plump WAG's Club'.

Hi SZJ
Thank you sweetie,
I've been over to yours a few times and no new post, where you been? Chopper isn't feeling any better but he isn't any worse either so that is a good thing. His specialist appointment is supposed to be tonight if they don't cancel it again!

captain corky said...

I hope you got a lot of work done, but haven't destroyed yourself doing it all.

Sparx said...

I love the pics of N3S and Chopper - they both look so lovely and happy! Hope the horse riding went well. Love it that you call the cat 'werecat' too! I had one of those once. Now I just have bagpuss here. Crossing fingers for Chopper to get better x

Maureen said...

Great photos and congrats on the award! So I went to your sidebar and scrolled, scrolled, scrolled... and ... Whoo Hoo! I'm there! Thanks!

Hope you all had a great Father's Day.

DJ Kirkby said...

Hi CC
Yep got lots done! Was destroyed long ago though...

Hi Sparxs,
They are, both, quite lovely! Chopper finally had his specialsit appointment who did some nasty things to his gut, will blog about it on Friday.

Hi Maureen
Glad you like the pics! You have been on my blog roll for many months now! :)
