Jared Gets up and sings !! I might point out once again, Jared is the only child to require all the crowds attention !!

We've all had a great Christmas this year. The kids are well and we've all been spoilt rotton (thanks to everyone). Stasia cooked a great Christmas meal and we all drank too much :-)

ok, so I've been very slack and have not updated this blog for absolutly ages !! So here goes...

I have created a gallery as it makes no sens putting all the pictures in here. Just go to http://www.loztom.com/gallery to see all our photos.

Since Christmas quite a few things have happened, notably my marriage to Stasia. A great day was had by all at the King Arthur Hotel on the Gower and the day was a big hit with the kids and adults alike.

If anyone wants a child friendly wedding I suggest you talk to Stasia. She did a brilliant job putting party packs together, ballons, bouncy castles etc... and the wedding atmosphere was both relaxed and enjoyable.

Stasia managed to organise the wedding so well and she just proved to me once again how lucky I am to have her as a wife.

The boys ... well... what can I say ... they look like angels, and perhaps I should stop there..:-) They're fine with Jared talking more and more and Roan learning fast of Jared and fast forwarding into his terrible twos already .. my oh my how time flys !!

Anyway...going to start to put some pictures on the site now and will endeavour to add more to this later.

Well, beein in Wellington for a couple of months now and we decided to go for permenant residency as we love it here so much. so... round the roundabouts of medicals and forms..all going well...except...153 over 110...hmmm..the old blood pressure a bit high .. I blame the wife and two kids :-)

Well, doc being such a nice lady told me to come back later in the week and we'd try again, good stuff I thought. So.. No Wine, no fags, running around the field, drinking loads of water .... one week later, I get off the train from work (a little stressed, worrying about the whole medical thing), and sit down in the waiting room ready for doc.

The wife and two kids walk in just as doc calls me in, cool will only be a second I thouht and I'll be back home..... not so Blood pressure reads exactly the same) ...bugger !!

Doc (being ever such a nice lady), says take a lie down, relax, chill out for 10 mins and she'll take a couple of readings ...

so I'm lying there, my head pounding, trying to think of something soothing, and not about the hole in my sock which has appeared and is making me feel intesly self concious, and then of course because I've drunk so much water, I'm tryin to hold back a torrent ...doh !!!

She takes another reading after a couple of mins .. not good
After another 5 mins the kids start playing up ...and I can hear their little footsteps exploring the depths of the off limits area of the doctors surgery in which I am lying down.....ok...keep calm...They'll go away...think of something soothing...a pastel flower blowing in the breeze on a nice summers day...doc takes another reading ... and walks out again ... things are not looking good....

About 10 mins later, have managed to calm myslef down and the throbbing veigns seem to be quieter, I'm more relaxed...a bit more hopefull...then.....

HOW LONG YOU GOING TO BE, I LEFT THE POTATOES ON !THE HOUSE IS PROBABLY ON FIRE ALREADY!! HURRY UP!!!...

The wife's standing in the door, giving me a stern look as if to say why are you taking so long to have low blood pressure..it's all your fault..and the house is probably on fire !!!

!!!!!!!!!!! D.O.H !!!!!!!!!

Then the doc walks in

Blood pressure 135 over 90 ... Phew !!!
