As some of you may know- I am about to become a grandfather for the second time. Everything is arranged- Had a ride planned for last saturday so I would be free to help out on the babysitting front but had to cancell that due to daughter No 2 being in ER. She does have type 1 diabetes and the first she knew of it was early in the morning when she had a Hypo. So ride cancelled and NO PIE RIDE either. Did that on sunday.

Then at around 2pm today I got the phone call for Daughter No1- the Waters have broke. So it is on its way. 5pm and I went round to see if I was needed for babysitting or other errands and the daughter wanted a KFC. OK== The intention was good- quick snack to see us through the evening so 4 meals ordered- paid for and taken home. One meal missing--Guesss who's- The imminent mother and she did not want anyone elses meal so back to KFC and give them a blasting. This is a frequent occurence and you can guess how much of a blasting they got as I was now going to have cold chicken and fries.

The daughter was now appeased and time to make the second call to the maternity unit at the Hospital. No contractions yet so " Can you wait till the morning as we have no spare beds"

Does any one know how to get a Pregnant Mum down off the ceiling as I think this was the final straw for her.

I'll let you know how the Event goes but I won't be going- I' ll take the easy job of babysitting Ferne. but as I left- Son-in-Law asked me to ride on Sunday. He has got some mods to make to his bike and he needs a shakedown ride before his first TT the following week.. At least he timed that right.
