Your Dad At Sannox Hotel on Arran.
The websites bought Sannox Hotel…
So maybe nudge your big brother into a computing job
as the internet gives my old brain a stonker of a headache.
Or even your wee sister could run the websites.
Though girls’ brain are definitely wired differently than boys.
Just look at your Dad’s face 🙂

How it all started…

^^ Auld BaBa Is In The Middle ^^
Ryanaldo, you do know you kinda shocked everyone with what happened at Dundee Utd FC. I know you get embarrassed, but well done kiddo.
Also we used to have a thing called “photo albums.” However, with phones holding 9,000 photos like the one your Dad bought me, I haven’t a Scooby how these pictures are supposed to be shared with folk and as you know, I don’t like family o social media from when I was a policeman.
.
And YOU kept pinching my hat plus your grand-uncle’s fire helmet + my navy hat + your Dad’s hat. Ten you go and become a footballer. Ya wee ******, I had £20 on you joining the fire brigade…
Your Dad At Crappyvirus Time
Ryan, you guys kept me sane during that Covid time.
Though Harris kept switching my Facetime Video off.
Buddy, if I end up on a ventilator at hospital
please make sure Harris does not switch me off!
Ryan, I know you’ll be very busy at the football, but if you want to see what is going on when your Dad and I are away renovating the lighthouse buildings…
