Tap tap, is this thing on?

Damn, its been a while. But I'm back baby, yeah!

Seeing as this site was physically removed from the interweb (phrase I
coined in 1996), I can't really expect any readers. But let's pretend
that I have some.

Hello again, you are probably wondering why I haven't blogged in such
a long time, why I have deleted most of the photos and videos of my
children and so on. It is complex but here goes.

My brother is autistic, we are not very close, but my Mother showed
him my blog and a funny photo of my sons covered in spagetti or some
such mess. He became obsessed with this image which for some reason
he found very disturbing. His condition means he hates mess and
disorder, perhaps it is for this reason that in his wisdom he called
the police talking about a "worrying photo", the police looked into it
and two things happened 1) He almost got himself arrested for wasting
police time, 2) I disowned my brother. Although I never really got to
the bottom of it, it has transpired that he doesn't like my
"materialistic lifestyle" and as a result seems to have developed some
fantasy vendetta against my family. This is a shock to me having only
exchanged Christmas and Birthday cards for the past 15 years and
hardly even met face to face. Long story short - I removed my blog for
security reasons. If it disappears again it will probably be due to
another of his disjointed reactions.

Why the change of heart, well, he is still a risk to me. But I won't
stop sharing my thoughts, proud moments, videos & photos (messy or
otherwise) on here because of him. He is not a part of my life so I
am damned if I will let him impact me in any way. I enjoy writing
this blog, don't know why, but I do.

So. Rip is 3 3/4 and Jay is 1 3/4. We are heading back from a trip
to visit my family in south west england. Jay is starting to make
meaningful sentences and Ripley is a cheeky monkey obsessed with
Dinosaurs and cbeebies (we limit the tv though).

More will come very soon.
