Sounds like you had a good chance to catch up. How is everyone over that way? Did you see good baby pics?

the "baby" is now nearly 3 and was with them (her mam is Lil's daughter) she's is beautiful, I saw her around middle of last year, so add a few inches or so to height if you follow

They grow so fast.

My youngest nephew is going to be 10 in about a week. To give you an idea how big that kid is, they had to buy him new shoes for school.

He gave his 'old' ones - the ones he just grew out of - to his granddad.

Oh, and my sister can't measure the oldest grandson - he's now as tall as the door they mark.

bloody hell
basketball players or what

Well, oldest nephew (he's 17) was so excited about his new school because he gets to play . Which we call 'soccer', of course. He's getting into it.

I told him he'd have to decide whether to support the Blades or Manchester United.

doubling a child's height at age 2 can provide an estimate of how tall that child will be in adulthood. (Boys are usually a little taller than that number and girls a little shorter.)

normally correct

Blades = Sheff united nah! Sheff wednesday the owls

Is this a team? I know absolutely nothing about .

Sean Bean can never show his arms in a filmhe's got "Blades" tattooed on one

Now, THAT I knew. Actors shouldn't get tattoos. But I know he's a huge fan.

a past uncle of mine was a "big" person near sheff'wed and did a lot with them, he was a boxing welterweight champ in 1949 and after he passed away, they erected a statue in the local park hillsborough of him

That's .

How did the team get to be named 'Wednesday'?

not sure ?

Sheffield Wednesday are the only English League club with a day of the week in their name. The club was initially a cricket club named The Wednesday Cricket Club after the day of the week on which they played their matches.

and I've just learnt something now

You know, that actually makes sense. I was expecting something stranger.

I've got to pop off now, supper's ready.

Enjoy your evening tomorrow, if it doesn't rain too hard. See you around!

be safe, be well both

It's raining, we're happy.
