Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window

[porphyry]

These are Andrew's latest toys, which, I am pleased to be able to say, he actually likes. Who knew that one would be able to get such nice things anymore?



The large one is a de Haviland Mosquito Mark VI. I was compeletely flabbergasted when I saw this one on offer on the web.

The Blue one is an F-18 Hornet painted in air-show colors, which Andrew thinks is Big Jet from the Little Eisnteins (if you don't know what that means count yourself fortunate). Big Jet is really an F-15, but since its painted blue, Andrew more easily accepts this as him than he would have the actual F-15 in the series which was painted in desert camoflage. The next one a German Comet from the War (really a rocket rather than a true aeroplane), and finally an A-10 Warthog; this he knows from a video I showed him on you-tube of an A-10 shooting up tanks on a fireing range with its gattling gun after he enquired about Big-0's gattling gun.

Looks exactly like a pirate captain onboard a dito ship, spying across the ocean for other ships to conquer. What a wonderful home you have! Hope "the captain" is mending well.

He is mending quite well. And he does look pretty cute and rather solemn, doesn't he?

Very much so indeed!
I confess of being quite jealous (no kids but momentarily no double income either, nothing in blogging for me, it seems;), I think.
Should I still have kids, which gets more improbable with every year, I´d wish them to look exactly like that.
Stern individuals from their very first own glance onto the world, and on.
That, to me, were the utter fascination (but hitherto I am quite confidentally happy with the family production done by my sister) not the "cootchy-cootchy"-bit a lot of females seem to find most fascinating, i.e. the before-communicative-diaper-state. (Has always made me wonder on some female brains.) Thank God, my nieces are a dream of own will and very pittoresque at that!
...almost feared I scared you off with my overlong comment on "gossip"...and glad this is not the case.
Watch me go, again;)

Maybe not so improbable--I had my daughter at thirty-eight and my doctor thought I should have more! (I'm not.)

I always feel bad for saying so, but that "cootchy-cootchy-coo" baby phase--the newborn age, especially, rather bored me. They didn't talk--they ate, slept, and dirtied their diapers. I really got into being a mother when they got older, developed personalities, opinions, ideas--even when they don't agree with me. Andrew, especially, is like a little old man.
