365/244 Through a window

 I was going to take something special just for this prompt as I like the chance to not be too specific with a word. I think phrases or favorite song lines or something like that would be fun prompts, maybe if we all had longer or just a weekly prompt and longer to think about it.. but then maybe it would be Friday and we'd forget altogether, like most of us on the Happy Scrappers monthly scrap challenge... who knows!

My favourite 'window' pictures are Jordan's altered images I featured a long while back...you can see them here!

.. but browsing on my house pc I found more of her pics and thought it would be nice to show these oldies.. I reckon it was about 3 and half years ago, we had a day in London on Kate's birthday on the way home from holiday.. we were shattered but did the 'Eye' and had some time out.. In the top picture you can see the Thames Barrier, I used to hear a lot about it as it was a high profile and dangerous job for commercial divers way back in the day!  

 The second pic is Col and Zac, amidst some engineering discussion no doubt!  Zac is on his last few days away now, a three day cruise, lots of goodbyes, some sad I guess as he has made some good friends and one in particular.. (shhh.. we shall see, I will wait the appropriate amount of time before asking.. or maybe she will call first and I will know!  ;-) and I know he will read this.. stalking mums and sons eh! )

So he will leave the ship Monday,. maybe even on Sunday and set off on the long trip home from Sydney, arriving in London 5am on Tuesday. We were both going to fetch him but I decided to leave it to Col, let him enjoy the chat with Zac and then I can be here all tidied and with a meal ready... I feel more organised with him coming back this time, have even sorted some car insurance for him on our car so he can get out if he needs to whilst he's here (and maybe he can fetch Kate and save me a trip or too.. and then I can have a glass or two!)

It is Zac's 20th birthday Wednesday so it will be good to have him here, maybe lazy lunch (though I have the dentist first thing.. eeek, hate it but then get brave once it's done!)

I really like remembering his birthday and stuff as we had him the same year we got married and it's like a soppy little revisit to the times.. twenty years seems so long but in another sense it has gone in a flash..

Loving writing on the house pc, I have been blogging on my tablet mostly and the keys and stuff are quite awkward for blogging as apparently the software isn't fully synchable (?) with tabs , hence my prolific rambling when all I meant to do was bung up the pics!  Better go, everyone will be looking for a meal!
