''...it's been a while...''

...so sorry for the lack of entries..I was hoping T was keeping up-to-date with the bloggin' but when you're a eurovision master I guess it's hard to keep your feet on the ground :-0.
But we have all just got our feet back on the ground after a quick holiday in sunny Malta...the four of us and by bestest pal Deb (yes, she actually survived coming on holiday with us all!). I last went there 20years ago and it was defintely more built-up than I remember it. I can't say I loved or hated it..T fell in love with the place however and is now hoping my next dream job will come up in their slightly under-developed mental health servcies so we can settle out there and he can lounge around in the sun, composing more eurovision masterpieces!We had a great time though and T enjoyed meeting up with an old friend from his days in the USA-they had both been there as children whilst their respective parents studied-they had had no contact in over 20 years. It seems like a friendship was resumed however , with lots of memories and trips around the non-touristy parts of the island.
So we all returned to work, school amd nursery on Monday..I have just started yet more studying...a management course at the local Uni..I'm afraid it is rather tedious and not quite of the standard I was expecting but I am trying to keep going, in order that I can acheive the certificate next year and move onto bigger, better and brighter things!My new team leader started this week though so hopefully, my job may become a little easeier...?
J was nervous abut school as he has been struggling a bit..we have recently found out that this is probably due to literacy issues, as a reuslt of his year out of the UK system when we were in Iceland. But a bit if extra help, some hard work and a few more tantrums and we should get there!!
EB is teething again..last ones but big ones at the back...he and his Daddy were stuck together like a rock and a limpet when we were away and he was a bit teary at nursery yesterday but Amma and Afi are visiting this weekend so he is counting the sleeps until their welcome visit.
And T continues with ths climb towards eurovision success...what more can I say??!!
Oh! and by the way Jo-it was great to see you in York..the wine went down very well, but not as well as your company and some ol' friends times! Hope to see you soon?!
Take care one-and-all..stay in touch..
Lots of love J and boys xxxx
